Heartland Dental, a prominent dental service organization, has announced the awarding of $24,000 in scholarships to 30 students at Concorde Career Colleges across the nation. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Heartland has partnered with Concorde to address the growing need for dental hygienists.

The scholarships, totaling $24,000, recognize students who demonstrate exceptional dedication, passion, and potential in the field of dental hygiene. The recipients, selected from Concorde's campuses, will receive financial support to further their education and contribute to the future of dental care.

"Heartland Dental is committed to fostering the next generation of dental professionals," said a spokesperson for Heartland. "By partnering with Concorde Career Colleges, we can ensure that these talented individuals receive the support they need to make a meaningful impact in the dental industry."

Concorde Career Colleges, a division of Universal Technical Institute, operates 17 campuses across eight states and online. The institution's dental hygiene program blends online and in-person coursework with clinical experience to prepare students for entry into the dental industry in as few as 17 months [1].

The demand for dental hygienists is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Nationwide, employment of dental hygienists is projected to grow 9% from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations [2]. In some states, such as California, the demand is even higher, with employment for dental hygienists expected to grow by 15% from 2022 to 2032 [3].

Heartland Dental's partnership with Concorde Career Colleges is part of a broader effort to address workforce demands in the dental industry. By providing scholarships and other forms of support, Heartland is helping to cultivate emerging talent and ensure that the dental workforce is well-equipped to meet the needs of patients.
