The David B. Scott Fellowship is an annual award given by the International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) to one dental student from a rotating IADR Division. The fellowship is designed to foster substantive, hands-on research experience in dental, oral, or craniofacial science.
