The Susan Kinder Haake Scholarship Fund will support an annual award to recognize students at the UCLA School of Dentistry who have great potential to become outstanding clinician-scientists. Candidates will be selected by the School of Dentistry Scholarship Committee on the basis of the selection criteria specified by Dr. David Haake, the lead donor to the fund.
At the time of the award, the identified student will receive a scholarship and become eligible to receive an additional scholarship award towards tuition as he/she pursues postdoctoral training after graduation from dental school. This award mechanism is intended to maximize the potential of the fund to promote and support the careers of young investigators at a critical stage in their development.
