Frequently asked questions about dental school scholarships

What GPA should I have to get into dental school?

GPA is an important factor in getting into dental school. Generally, the higher your GPA, the better. While the average undergraduate GPA for students admitted into dental school is around 3.5, there is no set minimum GPA needed for admission into dental school, as all schools differ. 

How do I borrow money for dental school?

Great question! Students can borrow money for dental school the same way they did for undergrad, applying for Federal Loans through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Alternatively, students can apply for private loans or Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Loans.
