Scholarship

Smile Suite has partnered with the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation to provide orthodontic scholarships to children who could not otherwise afford treatment.

Smile Suite Orthodontics has teamed up with the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation to provide orthodontic scholarships to children who normally could not afford treatment. A confident smile shouldn't depend on a family's ability to pay for it — this program is our way of closing that gap in our own community.

Who's eligible

Scholarships are awarded to children with a genuine need for treatment who meet each of the following criteria:

Family income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level
Child is under 16 years old
Demonstrates good dental hygiene
Significant functional or aesthetic need for braces
Currently enrolled in school with a C or better GPA
Resident in or near Evanston, IL
Committed to attending appointments and following the treatment plan
