Inspiring scholarship recipient
Supporting the next generation of oral health professionals is key to building a future where every Victorian is disease and cavity-free.
We’re thrilled to celebrate Aayushma Rijal, the recipient of the Luisa Hungerford-Morgan Scholarship! This award celebrates compassionate care in public oral health, and Aayushma’s dedication truly shines.
Reflecting on this achievement, Aayushma shared her thoughts.
"I’m absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive this scholarship!
“It’s an amazing opportunity to grow, dive into research, and give back to the community through better oral health services."
The scholarship is valued at $4,000 and can be used to support the growth and professional development of the recipient.
This scholarship is named after its first recipient, Luisa Hungerford-Morgan, whose commitment to kindness and transformative patient care at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne continues to inspire to this day. Luisa’s dedication inspired a generous donation to Dental Health Services Victoria, aimed at nurturing the professional growth of oral health students.
Congratulations on your achievement, Aayushma! We know you will make a positive impact on the future of public oral health.
