ADEA AADSAS Application Fees and Fee Assistance Program
Fees
Canadian Dental Schools
Applicants applying to ADEA AADSAS-participating Canadian dental schools will receive a 25% discount on each Canadian dental school application to account for the exchange rate difference. Applicants will first pay the full fee amount in US dollars to submit the application. The 25% discount will be processed separately and issued in late April 2024.
Fee Assistance Program
A limited number of fee waivers are provided to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. Each fee waiver covers the initial application fee and two additional program designations, for a total of three designations. If you wish to apply to additional programs, you are responsible for the remaining balance. If you received a fee waiver during a previous cycle, you may still apply for another in the next cycle. Please note that only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for the ADEA AADSAS Fee Assistance Program.
ADEA AADSAS uses a paperless fee waiver request process. Applicants requesting fee assistance must submit supporting documents electronically. Paper documents are not accepted and if received by ADEA AADSAS will be destroyed and not returned to you.
You may request a fee waiver as soon as you create an application, but keep in mind that fee waiver funds can be quickly depleted. To view the fee assistance program instructions, qualifications, and submission requirements, review the ADEA AADSAS Fee Assistance Program (FAP) document. Note that the FAP Submission site will not be accessible until May 9, 2023. For any questions, contact ADEA at FAPAADSAS@adea.org.
All decisions regarding approval or denial of fee assistance for the 2023-2024 ADEA AADSAS application will be provided on or after May 30, 2023 when the cycle opens for application submission. At that time, applicants will have 14 days to use the awarded funds. The standard process for reviewing and approving fee assistance requests will apply after May 30, 2023.
