ald2010 Student Scholarship

Student Scholarship

The Dr. Eugene M. Seidner Student Scholarship Program

ALD Introduces Student Scholarship Program in the name of Dr. Eugene M. Seidner

Dr. Eugene M. Seidner Scholarship ProgramIn 2004, ALD introduced the Dr. Eugene M. Seidner Scholarship Program. The scholarship program is named to honor the memory of Dr. Eugene M. Seidner, ALD's President 1996-97. Dr. Seidner is most aptly described as a pioneer; both as a clinician for his early use of lasers in his dental practice as well as his contribution to the formation of the Academy of Laser Dentistry. Known as a "giver", Dr. Seidner conveyed his broad vision to all who knew him in a manner that was uniquely warm and generous. The Academy is proud to honor his memory through this student scholarship.
