“Before I decided to attend the Hunt School of Dental Medicine, I was sitting at my desk, working on school assignments, thinking I had all the time in the world to make a decision. I got a call from a 915 number. It was Dr. Black. We had an amazing conversation, and he offered me a beautiful scholarship. I broke down in tears because of how significant this opportunity was. Scholarships are so rare at this level. I truly consider myself blessed—to stay home, to be homegrown and to do things the right way.”
