The AAO recognizes the significant burden student debt has on young orthodontists. We also realize that expenses associated with the Annual Session do not always comfortably fit into monthly budgets. In an effort to support in-person attendance at Annual Session, The World’s Greatest Celebration of OrthodontistsTM, the AAO is excited to announce a new AAO Annual Session travel and registration reimbursement program for up to five AAO members.

The 5 recipients of the program will receive:

  • Complimentary registration for Annual Session
  • Complimentary 3-night hotel stay
  • Travel reimbursement up to $500

To qualify for this program, you must have graduated from residency in 2020 or later and have an outstanding debt of at least $500,000. Apply for a chance to win by November 1, 2024. Winners will be selected via a random draw. All applications submitted by November 1, 2024, will be vetted by the Committee on Conferences and Meetings (CCON).  

For questions about the program, contact Holly Kiel at [email protected].

Note: The recipients of the program will receive complimentary registration and hotel for 3 nights stay. They will also receive a reimbursement of up to $500 travel reimbursement that will be reimbursed following the Annual Session pending verification of attendance and that program requirements have been met.
