Description
The American Academy of Periodontology Foundation’s Educator Scholarships support periodontal residents who intend to pursue careers as full-time educators. The program provides financial assistance focused on the commitment to an educational career in periodontology, rather than funding a specified research study or project.
Two scholarships are awarded annually to residents in any year of training. The program is part of the Foundation’s investment in periodontal education and research, supporting the development of the specialty’s educational workforce. Its focus is the resident’s intended teaching career, with support directed toward the path to becoming a full-time periodontal educator.
