The American Academy of Periodontology Foundation 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 scholarship is intended to provide help with tuition and living expenses during the training period and may also be used for debt reduction. Applicants 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 scholarship may not re-apply. Awards will be paid out over three years beginning upon the successful completion of full-time teaching. Finalists for the scholarship will be asked to attend a mandatory personal interview with the selection committee during the AAP Annual Meeting.
