The Foundation for Endodontics will provide AAE Educator Members reimbursement up to $1,500 to attend any of the meetings listed below. The goal of a single funding opportunity is to provide greater flexibility for applicants and to ensure that educators are getting professional development opportunities that meet their individual needs. This grant reimburses for expenses related to meeting registration, lodging, and travel. Meals are not eligible for reimbursement. Applicants should complete the registration process for the meeting/s they wish to attend and pay registration in full. Reimbursement will occur after the meetings attended by the applicant have concluded and only after proof of registration, travel, and lodging expenses are submitted via this application. Please submit the application form, letter verifying full-time faculty status, and all applicable receipts at one time via this form. If you plan to use the funding to attend more than one meeting, please delay submitting this application until after each meeting has concluded.
