Starting high school is a major transition for any teenager, but for Wayde Sali, it was especially difficult. Having emigrated from the Philippines, Sali entered high school as a junior in 2022 after his parents moved to America in search of better economic opportunities.

By 2024, Sali not only graduated from high school but also earned the distinction of becoming a recipient of the St. David’s Neal Kocurek Scholarship Program. Now a sophomore at Austin Community College, he is pursuing a nursing degree and participated in the 529 College Savings Pilot, a forward-thinking initiative aimed at addressing scholarship displacement by accelerating access to funds and providing students with the flexibility to use their awards beyond tuition and books.

St. David’s Foundation proudly operates the Neal Kocurek Scholarship Program, the largest health care scholarship initiative in Texas. Over the past 20 years, the Foundation has disbursed over $27 million dollars of scholarship to students in Central Texas pursuing healthcare education. More than 850 scholarships have been awarded. The program is committed to eliminating economic barriers for students from marginalized communities to foster pathways to pursuing financially stable careers in healthcare.

Scholarship displacement occurs when an external scholarship, such as the Neal Kocurek Scholarship, reduces other forms of student financial aid—including grants, loans, federal work-study, or additional scholarships. Institutions may trigger displacement by considering a student “over-awarded” if their total aid exceeds the school’s cost of attendance.

Sixteen Neal Kocurek scholars were invited to participate in the pilot program and 100% of the students were satisfied with their experience using this approach, with most finding the flexibility of the pilot program especially valuable.

Thank you to everyone in our community who helped us celebrate ! 🪥🦷

At St. David’s Foundation, we’re proud to operate the largest charity-based mobile dental program in the country, providing free, high-quality dental care to students at Title I elementary schools across Central Texas.

Throughout February, our clinical teams expanded services to reach even more children across the region — collaborating with four Child Inc. Head Start centers to promote healthy smiles for our youngest patients. Our dental team screened 105 children, provided oral health education to nearly 180 students, and shared essential tips on brushing, healthy eating, and the importance of visiting the dentist.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson also stopped by one of our Mobile Dental Clinics at Norman-Sims Elementary School to show support for our Dental Program and help raise awareness about the importance of healthy oral hygiene and access to dental care in our community.

In February alone, our Dental Program served 780 patients between the ages of 3 and 13 across seven schools in Round Rock ISD, Austin ISD, Del Valle Independent School District, and Manor ISD — reaching families from 41 different ZIP codes. In total, the Foundation provided an estimated $927,517 in dental services, reflecting the meaningful impact and measurable difference we continue to make in Central Texas.

Thank you to our incredible staff and community partners who make this work possible!

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of preventative dental care and promote good oral hygiene among kids. However, for St. David’s Foundation, a commitment to children’s dental health extends year-round.

The St. David’s Foundation Dental Program operates the largest charity-based mobile dental program in the country, providing free, high-quality dental care to students in Title 1 elementary schools across Central Texas.

10-year-old Caiden was one of thousands of children whose smiles were brightened by the Foundation’s dedicated dental team. Caiden, a fourth grader at Gilbert Elementary School in Del Valle, TX, 30 minutes east of downtown Austin, dreams of becoming a scientist, teacher, or YouTuber. Through the Dental Program, he received specialized services through St. David’s Foundation's Complex Care Program, which partners with organizations to provide advanced care when needed.

Caiden’s mother, Laurie, also expressed gratitude for the program’s focus on education. “It was an eye-opening experience for Caiden, now he understands that oral health impacts not just your permanent teeth, but your whole body.”

“I thought it would just be a basic exam, but I was surprised and pleased by the comprehensive services Caiden received,” said Laurie. “It was so convenient because I didn’t have to take time off work; having Caiden’s care provided at school made a huge difference for our family.”
