A $1,000 scholarship is offered in memory of Dr. Juan Tobias to a student entering the International Dental Degree Completion Program in the Faculty of Dentistry. In 1971 Dr. Tobias was one of the first international dental students admitted to the Faculty of Dentistry to pursue his Canadian D.M.D. credentials after immigrating to Canada and leaving his dental practice in Chile. He was a pioneer in the International Dental Program and, being twenty years senior to his fellow students, a mentor among his peers. Upon graduation in 1973, Dr. Tobias became a dedicated part-time faculty member for the next twenty-five years. The award is made on the recommendation of the Faculty.
