AAP Teaching Fellowships

AAP Teaching Fellowships were announced in 2005 and are made possible by a $1 million commitment from the American Academy of Periodontology.

Recipient History

Purpose

AAP Teaching Fellowships are intended to support the young periodontal educator's commitment to a career in academia by providing debt relief to qualified applicants. The $50,000 Fellowships are given to qualified faculty members within their first three years of teaching at a U.S. periodontal training institution. Funding for AAP Teaching Fellows is provided at the end of each year of full-time teaching. Applicants may apply for the AAP Fellowships for up to three years, as long as they maintain eligibility. The Fellowships also include a mentoring component that provides the academic and personal support so vital to full development as a periodontal educator.

Who is Eligible?

Applicants for AAP Teaching Fellowships must be in the first three years of full-time teaching (as defined by the institution) at a U.S. periodontal program or have accepted a full-time faculty position at a U.S. periodontal program. Application for the Fellowship may be made for a maximum of three years. Previous recipients of other AAP Foundation awards are eligible to apply for the Teaching Fellowships as well.

How Do Candidates Apply?

Completed applications are due on or before July 1.
