The Pacific Dental Services Foundation has awarded the first Dr. Carolyn Ghazal Dental Assisting Scholarship.
The scholarship, awarded to Gracie Antunez of Richmond, TX, offers "disadvantaged" women financial assistance as they pursue dental assistant education and careers, the group said.
Carolyn Ghazal, DDS, whom the scholarship honors, practices in Irvine, CA. Antunez will attend the dental assistant program at the Pima Medical Institute in Houston, beginning in July 2016.
