Solomon Family Scholarship

The Solomon Family Scholarship was established in 2020 by Dr. Jason and Mrs. Jessica Solomon in an effort to honor Dr A. Frederick Solomon (Dr. Jason’s father), and in memory of A. Bernard Solomon (Dr. Jason’s grandfather). The scholarship’s intended purpose is to continue the legacy that these two men lived by and that is that hard work, determination, and integrity are values that will provide for a successful life. These values set the standard and success for our family, and it is Jessica’s and my hope that with our scholarship we may contribute to the recipient’s future success.

Dr. Jason and Mrs. Jessica Solomon both attended the College of Charleston with Dr. Jason Solomon graduating with a degree in Physical Education with a concentration in Exercise Science in 2003. Dr. Jason Solomon then continued his studies at the Medical University of South Carolina where he graduated with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree in 2007. Mrs. Jessica Solomon furthered her education at Trident Technical College and graduated with a Dental Hygiene degree in 2005. Both joined Solomon Family Dentistry in 2007, and were married in 2011. Since then they have had two wonderful children: Liam (2013) and Katie (2015).
