Empowering dental futures
Providing support for exam preparations and launching practices
The Holly Marie Project was started because Holly Marie Wagner was an alumni from Fisk University. She had dreams of becoming a dentist. Unfortunately, while Holly was studying for the Dental Admission Testing, she died in a car accident with her best friend on August 3rd , 2024 caused by a drunk driver. Holly was only 25 years old and did not get a chance to be fulfill her dream of becoming a dentist.
Holly’s mother, Cynthia Wagner, decided to start The Holly Marie Project so that other alumni’s could fulfill their dream of becoming a dentist and start their own practice when they graduate. We offer funding for dental exam preparation and funding towards the launch of their private practice.
MISSION
Our mission is to empower future dental students by providing funding for exam preparation, exam fees, and the set-up of successful dental practices after graduation. We are dedicated to ensuring that students have access to the resources they need to excel and that new dentists can launch their practices with confidence, ultimately fostering a community of skilled practitioners committed to making a positive impact in oral healthcare.
