Maurice Amado Dental Assisting Scholarship

The CDA Foundation has partnered with the Maurice Amado Foundation to establish a scholarship fund for dental assisting students. The Maurice Amado Dental Assisting Scholarship fund will provide ten, $1,000 scholarships to students enrolled in California dental assisting programs. This year's scholarship awards will be based on financial need, community service/leadership, and achievement. Please note that internships or any other non-paid services that are part of a program curriculum or requirement do not qualify as volunteer community service/leadership under this scholarship program.

The Maurice Amado Foundation was established in 1961 by Mr. Amado, a successful financier that immigrated from Turkey in the early 1900s. During his lifetime, Mr. Amado supported organizations that perpetuated Sephardic heritage and culture. Since his death in 1968, Mr. Amado's nieces, nephews and their descendants have carried on his charitable work. Three generations of the Amado family currently direct the activities of the Maurice Amado Foundation.
