Fellowship Award Recipients

Based on the critical role that educators and researchers play in the future of endodontics, the Foundation has created unique fellowship awards. Foundation leaderships strives to identify dedicated recipients aiming for the highest quality endodontic education for students and researchers whose talent and hard work will contribute to scholarship in endodontics and harness extramural resources to advance the specialty. Though it is difficult to narrow the applicant pools, Foundation leaders are always motivated and energized by the strong group of qualified applicants each years.
