Can applicants carry over the approved fee waiver to another ADEA AADSAS cycle?

Applicants approved for FAP who do not utilize the award within the designated timeframe, as outlined below, will forfeit the opportunity to utilize it later or carry it over to future application cycles.

Applicants awarded fee assistance for the current application cycle must complete and submit the ADEA AADSAS application within 14 calendar days of receiving notification (via email) of approval. Failure to adhere to this timeframe results in forfeiture of the award and disqualification from further participation in FAP for the current cycle.

Example: If an applicant receives an approval email on June 4, 2024, the applicant must submit the ADEA AADSAS application no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on June 18, 2024.

Extensions will not be granted to submit the ADEA AADSAS application after the 14-day deadline, no exceptions.

Recipients of fee assistance will not have the option to receive the awarded funds in the form of a check, card, or money order. Instead, all granted fee assistance must be utilized by allocating it towards the designation of dental schools within the ADEA AADSAS Application.
