How soon will you have a green card?

If you won’t have a green card by the time you finish a dental hygiene program, chances are you won’t be able to find permanent work here. You need to make certain that a dental hygiene program in the US will qualify you to work in your own country.

Likewise with dentistry. Don’t plan on studying that here unless you can get a license to practice in your own country.

You do not need a degree in dental hygiene to go to dental school. You can major in whatever you want, provided you take the required pre-dental classes. If you still want the dental hygiene training, make certain that the program includes all of the pre-dental coursework.

The amount of the scholarship doesn’t matter. What matters is your cost after the scholarship. Here is a good calculator: https://finaid.org/calculators/awardletter.phtml Sit down with whoever is helping you pay for your education, and run your numbers.

Wishing you all the best!
