• NEW!  The FDLA Scholarship
  The FDLA Scholarship supports educated or trained dental technicians who are working toward certification through the National Board for Certification in Dental Laboratory Technology’s (NBC) Certified Dental Technician (CDT) Program.  FDLA will present up to four $500.00 scholarships each year at the Annual Awards Luncheon in conjunction with the Southern States Symposium & Expo, presented by FDLA.  The scholarship may be used to offset the expenses of CDT study materials purchased through the NADL Fulfillment House (Visual Reference Guide or Air Force Manuals) or application and testing fees for the CDT exam.
