Who Can Apply:
- Educator Scholarships were created to stimulate the development of periodontal educators by providing financial relief to students intending to pursue a career as full-time teachers at U.S. periodontal programs upon graduation from U.S. periodontal postdoctoral training programs. The $12,000 Educator Scholarship is intended to provide help with tuition and living expenses during the training period and may also be used for debt reduction. Educator Scholars shall be paid $4,000 per year for three years. Annual payments shall not be made unless evidence of continued teaching as described in the award criteria is provided. The number of Scholarships awarded each year will depend upon the applicant pool.
- Applicants for the Educator Scholarships must have been accepted into, or must be current students in, a periodontal postdoctoral training program in the United States. Applicants are welcome to apply in any year of their periodontal programs. Recipients must intend to teach full-time in a U.S. periodontal program upon graduation. Previous recipients of the AAP Educator Scholarship may not re-apply.
