İncident Scholarship

INCIDENT has stepped up to support future dentists and help ease some of their challenges.

It started by establishing the INCIDENT Educational Scholarship Fund to alleviate the costly educational processes that all dental students face.

Aware that financial support alone is not enough for a successful education and future professional life, the INCIDENT team also sought solutions to address the challenges students face, particularly the conflicts between school and work life.

As a result of this process, it was decided to offer an internship opportunity at their clinics to all students receiving the scholarship. Dental students benefiting from the INCIDENT Educational Scholarship can complete internships at their preferred INCIDENT branches during semester or summer breaks, giving them the chance to observe real-life challenges and solutions before starting their professional careers.

For INCIDENT, the greatest satisfaction will be to work together at the end of their education with interns who are respectful toward their profession and patients, and whom we enjoy having as colleagues.

Applications for the INCIDENT Educational Scholarship are submitted by completing the scholarship application form on INCIDENT’s website, www.incident.com.tr, between November 1 and November 21, 2022. After the applications are evaluated, candidates are invited for an in-person interview. Following the interview, successful candidates are awarded the scholarship for a period of 8 months starting from January 1. You can learn the scholarship amount during the interview or by emailing info@incident.com.tr.

In December, candidates are invited for in-person interviews. On December 20, the candidates who have been awarded the Educational Scholarship will be announced on the website.
