The ITI enjoys a unique relationship with Straumann, a global leader in implant, restorative and regenerative dentistry. Both organizations share the goal of developing optimal treatment solutions to the benefit of patients. This partnership dates back almost 40 years and is guided by the following statements:

1. Straumann provides funding, expertise and support to the ITI
2. Decisions are made in the mutual interest of both parties

No. As long as the portal is open, the application form can be accessed, edited and saved as many times as required. Applicants may return to their online application profile and make any corrections or additions until the official deadline. It is possible to print out the application before submitting it. The application should only be submitted once all the necessary information has been included. After submission it is no longer possible to make any changes or print out your application.

Postgraduate training must be finished by the time the Scholarship year starts, but applications may be submitted while the applicant is still in training.

No. You cannot and do not need to attach a CV. All the necessary information is requested during the application process.

A letter of recommendation is a letter that is written and signed by an academic in a supervisory position who is familiar with your work and progress. This letter should state why the sender believes that the applicant should be awarded an ITI Scholarship and should demonstrate familiarity with your work, personality and current goals. The recommendation letter should ideally be written by a professor, ITI Fellow or similar. The ITI Leadership Development Committee will only accept letters that were printed and signed by the supporter before being scanned as PDFs - electronic signatures may not be inserted separately. Recommendation letters must be current, i.e. dated from the year of application.

No. Do not send anything to do with an ITI Scholarship application to ITI Headquarters. The online application form includes all the sections that you must fill in to ensure we have the necessary information. Please upload documents and images as requested.

As the number of applications received is usually very high and a large number of applications are of a very high standard, competition for the limited number of places is fierce. As a matter of policy the ITI Leadership Development Committee does not go into the reasons for its decision.

The stipend is intended to contribute towards the living costs of the ITI Scholar during the Scholarship year.

We recommend you open a bank account in the country in which you will be spending the Scholarship year in order to avoid any financial loss that may occur due to fluctuating currency exchange rates and fees. Opening a bank account is normally subject to local regulations that require documentation, such as residence permit or social security number.

As this may vary depending on the Scholar’s host country, it is the responsibility of the ITI Scholar to check with the authorities in the country in which the funds are deposited and find out if any taxes or other charges are due.

The ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing and paying their travel costs. The ITI Scholarship stipend is transferred only once the ITI Scholar has officially started the ITI Scholarship year.

This decision is up to the Scholar, but the stipend is intended to contribute towards the living costs of the Scholar only. The ITI makes no additional contributions beyond the stipend itself. The ITI Scholar is also responsible for organizing any additional requirements such as visa, health insurance, and work/practice permits.

The ITI does not organize or provide advice on health insurance. Each ITI Scholar is responsible for organizing his or her own health insurance for the ITI Scholarship year. If no reciprocal arrangement is available between the home country and ITI Scholarship Center country, the ITI Scholar should take out additional health cover.

All submitted applications go to the ITI Leadership Development Committee for evaluation. This process has several stages and takes a number of months. Applicants will be informed via email whether they have been awarded an ITI Scholarship or not at the very latest by the end of March of the year following the application.

The portal for ITI Scholarship applications opens on May 31 at midnight UTC each year until June 30, midnight UTC.

Once the application portal has closed, all submitted applications are forwarded to the ITI Leadership Development Committee for evaluation. The Committee Members evaluate the applications and then meet to discuss them and select the ITI Scholars for the coming year.

As the number of applications received is usually very high, the evaluation process takes a number of months. The Committee's decision is sent out via email to all applicants around 8 months after the application portal closes, around the end of February of the year following the application at the latest. As a matter of policy, the ITI Leadership Development Committee does not go into the reasons for its decisions.

No, there is no age limit when it comes to applying for an ITI Scholarship.

Each stipend is equivalent to 20,000 USD and is paid in a predefined currency. The amount received is calculated in line with purchasing-power parity and thus has the same buying power in the Scholarship Center country as 20,000 USD in the United States. This approach eliminates the inequities associated with fluctuating currency rates and takes into consideration the cost of living in each country.

The ITI awards each ITI Scholar a stipend equivalent to 20,000 USD for the entire year paid in two installments: at the beginning of the Scholarship year – as soon as the ITI Scholarship Center Chair has confirmed the ITI Scholar's start – and after 6 months, once the Scholar's intermediate report has been sent to ITI Headquarters and approved by the ITI Leadership Development Committee Chair. The stipend is paid in a predefined currency and is calculated in line with purchasing-power parity. This means that the stipend has the same buying power in the Scholarship Center country as 20,000 USD in the United States.

Yes. Since allocation to your first choice ITI Scholarship Center cannot be guaranteed, only applications that specify three different preferred ITI Scholarship Centers will be evaluated by the ITI Leadership Development Committee.

Payments are made in six currencies:

• Austria, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Sweden: Euros (EUR)
• Brazil, Mexico, USA: US Dollars (USD)
• Canada: Canadian Dollar (CAD)
• China (¥)
• Japan: Japanese Yen (JPY)
• Switzerland: Swiss Francs (CHF)
• UK: Pounds Sterling (GBP)

The ITI anticipates that ITI Scholars will remain involved in the ITI community after their Scholarship year ended, with many different paths available within our Organisation. 

The ITI Leadership Development Committee tries to allocate the applicant to one of the three preferred ITI Scholarship Centers listed by the applicant, but it is not always possible. The applicant may be allocated to another ITI Scholarship Center if someone else has already been allocated to the Center of choice. With several hundred applicants and only limited places, the competition for each ITI Scholarship Center place is high. 

The ITI Scholarship year starts on September 1 of the year following application and ends on August 31 of the subsequent year. There are a couple of exceptions to this schedule and these are highlighted in the seperate Scholarship Center descriptions. 

We strongly advise taking some time to read through the different descriptions in order to find out which center best suits your professional aspirations. 

Please follow the link to the application portal (available here from May 31, midnight UTC until June 30, midnight UTC), log in and fill in the required information. ITI Members with an active registration are requested to enter their login information (email address and password) in order to submit an application, if you are a non-member you can find the registration page here: ITI registration page. The applicant’s email address and password are the login information, which must be used each time the applicant returns to the online application form.

No. This year, the personal letter of intent has been removed and will be substituted by a short motivational video,  the specifics of which will be communicated after completion of the initial selection of qualified applicants by the leadership developement committee. 

Yes, all attachements should be in English. ITI is an international organisation with English as the common language. Poficiency in English is required.

Recomendation letters should be addressed to the ITI Leadership Development Committee at ITI Headquarters in Basel and must be uploaded as a PDF during the online application process when requested. Do not send any separate attachments via email or conventional mail as these will not be accepted.

Please save all your written attachments (BDS, DDS or equivalent diploma, two recommendation letters, language certificate if available) as PDFs and a picture as a JPG, so that you have them ready for upload during the online application process. Please make sure that the documents are each less than 5 MB in size.

Yes, an ITI membership is required to make your application, and is non refundable.

Involvement within ITI is something we value greatly, and will continue to be further integrated as part of the selection process. 
ITI membership opens doors to a wide range of invaluable benefits designed to support your professional and academic growth, in turn strenghtening your application. Engage with the ITI Academy's extensive learning materials, actively participate in Study Clubs, attend education weeks and section events, and strengthen your ties to the vibrant ITI community. The ITI membership can be utilized to enhance your journey as a prospective candidate and improve your chances of success greatly, not only for your Scholarship application, but also your professional growth and aspirations - strengthening your commitment to promoting evidence-based practices in implant dentistry. 

The application portal is the equivalent of an online application form. Once applicants have logged in, they will be guided through the application process.

No language certificate is required at the time of application. However, most ITI Scholarship Centers request a certificate (TOEFL or IELTS) before the start of the Scholarship year for non native English speakers. Additionally, knowledge of the local language is advantageous, and requested by certain Centers for patient interactions. Details of requirements can be found in the description of each of the ITI Scholarship Centers.
