Community Services Grants program

The Wrigley Company has joined the Australian Dental Association Inc. to launch The Wrigley Company Foundation ADA Community Service Grants program.

The foundation encourages dentists to plan and implement community health programs in their communities, to help to raise the standard of oral health care and education.

Up to seven $US5000 grants will be awarded. Applicants must be ADA members and can be a dentist or a dental student and must be involved with - or planning to launch - a community project focusing on oral health.

There is also a $US5000 study grant specifically for dental students from rural or remote areas that are studying in a regional educational institution, recognising the additional challenges they face in having to study away from home.

Applications for The Wrigley Company Foundation ADA Community Service Grants and The Wrigley Company Foundation Study Grant for Dental Students from Rural and Remote Regions close June 30. Successful applicants will be announced during the ADA’s Dental Health Week - 1-7 August. For further information and to access an Application Form visit: http://www.ada.org.au/
