SCDL Component Business Education Grant
Background
The Foundation for Dental Laboratory Technology (Foundation) is a non-profit 501c (3) organization. The purpose of the Foundation is to advance the profession of dental laboratory technology by addressing industry driven needs and providing solutions that are relevant and accessible to dental technicians and other members of the dental team. Each year the Foundation provides financial support, in the form of grants, to various qualifying organizations.
Grant Overview

The SCDL Component Business Education Grant will award one recipient $1,000 for state and regional dental laboratory associations to help fund business management continuing education offerings (i.e. speaker honorarium for annual meeting, speaker travel, course materials, A/V, etc.).
