One scholarship can change far more than a single life. It can launch a career, support a family, and strengthen a community. A simple act of giving starts a ripple that keeps moving outward.
Why Your Gift Matters
A donation to HayJack Dental Dream Foundation does more than pay for classes. It creates opportunity and opens the door to steady work in a growing field.
-
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about a 6 percent increase in openings for dental assistants from 2024 to 2034, faster than the average occupation.
-
Across the country, more than 7,000 communities are considered dental professional shortage areas, which limits access to care.
-
Education and job training for justice-involved adults can reduce the likelihood of reoffending by nearly 15 percent.
-
Employment after incarceration is one of the strongest indicators of success. People who find steady work are much less likely to return to jail.
Every dollar given helps close the gap in dental care while giving someone the chance to rebuild their life through meaningful work.
What Happens When You Sponsor a Student
Your support enables real change, grounded in local need and measurable impact.
-
Tarrant County’s unemployment rate has hovered around 4 percent as of mid-2025, leaving many residents facing economic instability.
-
Meanwhile, dental practices struggle to find qualified assistants. The American Dental Association reports that about 4 in 10 dental practices are actively hiring dental assistants or hygienists due to workforce shortages.
-
By sponsoring a student, you help close both gaps: giving someone a path into stable work while supporting clinics that need staff.
-
Your scholarship enables a student to complete training, pass certification, and begin a dental assistant role. That means more patients served and reduced wait times in underserved areas of Tarrant County.
-
Each graduate who secures employment begins contributing to their family’s stability and the regional economy.
In short, one well-placed gift doesn’t just change a life — it strengthens clinics, supports communities, and makes oral health care more accessible across our region.
