Fund-raising
MalDent Student Aid is a charitable organisation based in Glasgow, Scotland. Its primary function is fund-raising to help students who are studying on the Bachelor of Dental Surgery programme at the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences and who require some additional financial support.
We fund-raise in multiple ways including sponsored sporting, social and musical events as well as donations collected through this web-site.
Dentist-to-Dentist Student Support Fund
The Kamuzu University of Health Sciences has established a fund called ‘Dentist-to-Dentist’ which operates a means-tested financial support programme for dental students who are struggling to meet the combined costs of their tuition fees, accommodation and subsistence. The fund mirrors a similar programme called ’Medic-to-Medic’ that supports medical students.
The Maldent Student Aid partnership with Dentist-to-Dentist
On a bi-annual basis, MalDent Student Aid provides a donation to the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences Dentist-to-Dentist programme. These donations provide a regular source of income to help maintain support for the dental students who are identified as recipients.
Following donation, all subsequent financial management procedures and fiscal governance are handled by the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences Finance Office.
Identification of those students who will receive support is undertaken solely by the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, with regular feedback on disbursements.
