Foundation for Endodontics & Dentsply Sirona Freedom Scholarship The Foundation for Endodontics, in collaboration with Dentsply Sirona, is proud to announce an initiative aimed at supporting the next generation of endodontic specialists. The Foundation for Endodontics & Dentsply Sirona Freedom Scholarship will provide substantial financial assistance to first- or second-year (in a three year program) endodontic residents, addressing the significant student loan debt faced by dental specialists. Three $50,000 scholarships will be awarded annually, between 2024 - 2028. The scholarship will be paid directly to the resident’s institution to cover the cost of post-graduate endodontic tuition, courses, equipment, books, and other training-related expenses in accordance with program guidelines. It will be a vital resource to ease the financial burden for deserving individuals. The formal application and review process, including eligibility and application requirements can be found online. The deadline for applications is March 15, annually.
“ This program not only supports the education
and development of future endodontic specialists but also addresses the student loan crisis within the dental community. We are grateful to Dentsply Sirona for their commitment to investing in the future of our specialty. ” Dr. Margot Kusienski President, Foundation for Endodontics
Part-Time Educator Development Grant With a focus on the future, the Foundation continues to find ways to ensure that endodontists teach endodontics at every level. One new tactic to achieve that goal comes in the form of the Part-Time Educator Development Grant. Similar to its full-time counterpart, this grant will reimburse AAE annual meeting or Insight Track registration fees for AAE members who teach less than full-time.
This program is being piloted in 2024 and 2025. There is a cap of 50 awards each year, and part-time educators can receive one award annually. Learn more about eligibility requirements and access the application online. Part-time educators are a vital component of many pre- and postdoctoral endodontic programs. The Part-Time Educator Development Grant program is one way the Foundation can express its gratitude for your service to the specialty.
