National Dental Hygienists Association (NDHA)
For more than thirty years, the National Dental Hygienists' Association
(NDHA) has been committed to the professional development needs of its
members.
The NDHA was established in 1932 by African American Dental Hygienists.
Their objective was to address the professional concerns of African American
dental hygienists. Through the years, the organization has grown and in
1962 it became an affiliate of the National Dental Association. The goal
at the time was to develop a network of communication and camaraderie
among its members.
The NDHA offers limited financial support to students of color through
its scholarship program. Scholarships are awarded annually. Student memberships
are also available for a small membership fee.
