ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS 2023

Educate | Advocate | Promote


The Dallas Area Gerontological Society was founded with the expressed intent to educate the community at large about Gerontology, advocate for aging adults, and promote improved services for older adults.


DAGS will again be offering scholarships for full-time or part-time students enrolled in aging-related programs for the 2023 - 2024 academic year.


The DAGS Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to those preparing for a career in Gerontology, or those currently working in an aging-related field, who wish to increase their skills through a degree or certificate program.
