“You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so…get on your way!”

As these young people embark on their collegiate journey, we’re honored to play a small part in helping them achieve their educational goals.

The Infinity Dental Web scholarship is awarded to a student who writes the best essay of all applicants on the theme of the year. We thank all of our scholarship applicants and wish each of them the best of luck in their educational endeavors and we send a big Congratulations! to all of our award recipients.

Please identify the practice by giving us the URL of their website. Visualize yourself as a marketing professional who has been hired to help transform this practice to a high-end practice focusing on smile makeovers and catering to a high-income clientele.

2016 Scholarship Recipient

Milby Palacios - scholarship recipient for Fall 2016Milby Michelle Palacios

Milby is from the Houston area, and in fall 2016 she will be a junior at Baylor University, majoring in marketing and minoring in French. The question Milby responded to was:

Identify a family dental practice that provides a basic level of dental care to a middle-class clientele. It can be your own dentist or any dentist, as long as the practice has a website. Please identify the practice by giving us the URL of their website. Visualize yourself as a marketing professional who has been hired to help transform this practice to a high-end practice focusing on smile makeovers and catering to a high-income clientele. Describe how you would brand this practice. Give a specific and detailed critique of what you would do to change their website.

Milby’s essay impressed us with its grasp of sound marketing principles. She chose a dental practice in Katy, Texas, near Houston, and developed a plan for changing the online branding of the practice that we thought would actually work. She correctly identified the importance of the color scheme of the website, the quality of the images on the site, and the importance of having a more professional, less pushy, tone to the copy.
