Terms of Award

• Recipients of the CoSA Travel Stipend are not eligible for other travel awards in the same year. Applicants are welcome to apply for multiple travel awards (when available) understanding this restriction.
• An individual may not receive a CoSA Travel Stipend in two consecutive award cycles. For example, if an individual received a CoSA Travel Stipend in 2024, they are not eligible in 2025. However, they may apply again in 2026.
• Multiple individuals at a single CoSA member institution may be awarded funds at the discretion of the CoSA Board of Directors.
• Unless special exception is made by the Executive Director, funds will be awarded after travel is complete. Evidence of expenses for eligible travel expenses as detailed in CoSA Travel Reimbursement Policy is required to receive funds.
