Sam Harris Travel Bursaries
These bursaries are administered to delegates from developing nations, in order to facilitate their attendance at the IAPD Biennial Congress.
IAPD is proud to state that these awards were made possible thanks to the donation
to the IAPD of Dr. Samuel Harris, one of the founders of the specialty of Paediatric Dentistry and of our
Association.
Up to 3 bursaries of US$ 1000 (One Thousand Dollars) each will be available for the IAPD Biennial Congress.
