About the Scholarship
In order to encourage the youth in our community to seek higher education, Dr. Semco is pleased to announce the launch of our eighth annual Semco Orthodontics College Scholarship. This year, Dr. Semco is doubling the award to $2000!
Education is paramount to Dr. Semco’s practice philosophy. As such, it was a lifelong dream of his to establish a scholarship to help local high school students in their pursuit of higher education. This year, Dr. Semco is asking students to read and write a book report on How to Get Straight A’s in School and Have Fun at the Same Time by Gordon W. Green Jr. Ph.D.
