The mission of the funder is not explicitly stated, so we will leave this section blank as per the instructions.
The Finley Visiting Scholar Education Grants program honors Dr. Charles W. Finley and other notable figures in periodontology by supporting accredited U.S. periodontal programs. It provides $2,000 grants for expenses related to hosting speakers in periodontology. These funds, which must be matched by the recipient department or institution, cover costs like honoraria, travel, and promotional activities for seminars. A requirement of the grant is for visiting speakers to present a formal program on a relevant topic to the entire dental school, aiming to enrich both students and faculty in periodontics and beyond. Glustitch, Inc., notably sponsors one of these awards.
