Fees
ADEA AADSAS charges $264 for the first program you apply to and $115 for each additional program.
Some programs may have an additional supplemental fee; contact your programs to learn if they require this and how to pay it.
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 2026.
Fee Assistance Program
Applications for the 2025-26 cycle Fee Assistance Program (FAP) will open on April 16, 2025 and close on June 1, 2025. Visit ADEA GoDental and the FAP Help Center for details.
A limited number of fee waivers are awarded to eligible applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. Each fee waiver covers the cost of the first three dental school applications, a value of $494. FAP applicants must open an ADEA AADSAS account by June 1, 2025 to remain eligible.
To view the instructions, qualifications, and submission requirements, visit the ADEA AADSAS Fee Assistance Program Webpage. For questions, contact ADEA at FAPAADSAS@adea.org.
All decisions regarding approval or denial of fee assistance for the 2025-26 ADEA AADSAS application will be provided on June 13, 2025. At that time, applicants awarded FAP will have 30 calendar days to use the awarded funds.
Coupon Codes
Some programs provide coupons that offset application fees. If you received a coupon code from your program, use the information below to apply it to your payment.
Note that you cannot redeem a program’s coupon code after you submit your application to them. Additionally, if you miss a program deadline due to waiting for a coupon code, you must request a deadline extension from your program, not ADEA AADSAS.
Using a Coupon Code
You can apply your coupon code(s) when you are ready to submit your application.
- Click the Submit Application tab at the top of the application.

- On the payment page, enter the coupon code(s) you received from the program(s) under Apply Coupon.
- Click the Apply Coupon button.
- Complete the rest of the payment details pages.
Note the following:
- When a coupon code equals the total transaction amount, you don’t need to enter additional payment information.
- When a coupon code is less than the total transaction amount, you'll need to enter payment information for the additional balance.
- When a coupon code is more than the total transaction amount, you don’t need to enter additional payment information. However, you'll forfeit the remaining balance offered by the coupon code, as ADEA AADSAS will not issue credits or carry remaining balances forward.
- Coupon codes cannot be applied to chargeback fees.
If you used a coupon code when submitting to a program, the code will be listed under Payment History.
