Those hours under the hood taught me to diagnose problems, find solutions, and take pride in working with my hands to make something function again. The same satisfaction I felt when the car finally roared back to life is what I now experience in endodontics, using skill, precision, and problem solving to restore health and function for my patients.<\/p>\n<p>My parents\u2019 commitment to service has been a cornerstone of my life, shaping both my personal and professional journey. My dad, a small business owner, operated Angie\u2019s Pizza, a beloved neighborhood pizzeria, while my mom ran a business that served the City of Chicago, all while raising seven children. From both of them, I learned that success comes from building relationships, listening to people, and never compromising on quality.<\/p>\n<p>These lessons continue to guide me as I pursue a career in endodontics, a field that combines my love for hands-on problem solving with my dedication to serving others. This scholarship will ease the financial burden of my education and allow me to provide excellent care to the patients who need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5294 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Covington-225x300@2x.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Madison Covington, DMD<br \/>\n<\/strong>James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine<br \/>\nMedical University of South Carolina<br \/>\nClass of 2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy passion for endodontics began during volunteer work at the Greenville Free Medical Clinic, where I saw countless teeth being extracted that could have been saved with root canal treatment. Watching patients lose their natural teeth due to lack of access to endodontic care ignited a deep desire within me to save more teeth and preserve more smiles.<\/p>\n<p>This experience inspired me to co-found the nonprofit Global Smile Initiative with a mission to improve oral health education and provide basic dental supplies to those in need. While global impact is important, there are so many needs that we must address in our own communities. Everyone can make a difference. It does not have to be big and global; it can be in your own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>While this scholarship will ease my financial stress, it will do more than support my education. It will empower me to help patients who need it most. Even more importantly, it has given me the platform to encourage fellow residents and providers to embrace service in their own neighborhoods. Our hands have been trained to heal, our hearts called to serve, and our privilege demands that we remember: to whom much is given, much will be required.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5295 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Herzog-200x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Herzog-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Herzog-150x225.png 150w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/Photo_Herzog.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Alexandra Herzog, DDS, PhD<br \/>\n<\/strong>Rackham School of Graduate Studies<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>University of Michigan<br \/>\nClass of 2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a former dual-degree DDS\/PhD trainee, I couldn\u2019t have imagined a specialty more aligned with my strengths and career aspirations than endodontics.

To have been selected as a scholarship recipient is a tremendous honor and privilege, as well as an inordinate, life-changing financial relief in my continued journey.
