Returned Checks
ADEA AADSAS charges a returned check fee of $35 for all checks returned by the bank after deposit. ADEA AADSAS will notify you if your check is returned. During that time, you will be informed to pay the original fee along with the penalty fee by money order or certified check within 10 business days. ADEA AADSAS will stop the processing of your application and the dental schools will be informed.
Dental School Supplemental Fees
Some dental schools request an additional fee (supplemental) after you have completed the ADEA AADSAS application. DO NOT SEND THE SUPPLEMENTAL FEES TO ADEA AADSAS. Supplemental fees will be returned to you and should be sent directly to the dental school(s) requesting them.
Supplemental Material Sent to Dental Schools
Send only required documents to ADEA AADSAS. Any other documents received by ADEA AADSAS (including supplemental materials requested by specific dental schools) will be considered unrelated materials. ADEA AADSAS will not return unrelated materials to you, nor forward the unrelated materials to designated dental schools. Examples include resumes, photographs, writing samples, certificates, and other miscellaneous documents.
The Supplemental Table for specific dental schools is located in the Dental School Designations section of the 2011 ADEA AADSAS Application when you are updating designations. Once you select "Add/Update Designations," simply click on the icon in the "Supplemental Info" column next to each school you wish to view.
Check the Applicant Portal of the ADEA website periodically for any changes that may occur. ADEA AADSAS is not responsible for missed deadlines or missing information.
Fee Assistance Program (FAP)
The ADEA AADSAS Fee Assistance Program (FAP) replaces the Fee Reduction Program for the 2011 applcation cycle and was created for dental school applicants who demonstrate an extreme need for financial assistance. Eligibility for FAP is determined by reviewing the financial resources of the applicant, spouse, and parent/guardian of the applicant. All FAP applicants are required to meet minimum qualifications before applying. This program is not affiliated with any government, college or university, scholarship, grant or fellowship programs. This is an independent program offered by ADEA.
It is important that you read all FAP policies and instructions carefully before completing an FAP application. Failing to thoroughly read policies and instructions may result in a delay in processing your requests, and result in missed deadlines and disqualification for fee assistance.
The Fee Assistance Program becomes available on June 3, 2010, with the start of the 2011 ADEA AADSAS application at which time applicant may begin applying. You may submit your request for Fee Assistance between June 3, 2010 and January 3, 2011 (or until all FAP funding is awarded). To receive Fee Assistance, applicants must complete the "Fee Assistance Application" section and mail all FAP required documents (FAP Packet) to ADEA AADSAS FAP. Applicants have 10 days from the time they complete the FAP section to submit their FAP Packet.
Note: Applicants should not eSubmit their ADEA AADSAS application while a FAP decision is pending. Applicants that eSubmit their application will no longer qualify for FAP and their request for Fee Assistance will automatically be denied.
For more detailed information regarding the FAP, please see FAP instructions or visit the 2011 ADEA AADSAS Application.
