The College Sports Information Directors of America organization has a long and storied history of serving its members, the collegiate sports communications professionals throughout North America.
CoSIDA is proud to announce a new program that will provide financial assistance to those members who wish to attend the annual convention, but who are limited in which to do so due to financial constraints.
The CoSIDA Convention Attendance Grant Program will award 10 individuals financial grants of $800 per member. This total will go towards registration, travel and hotel accommodations. Candidates must confirm their convention attendance in advance and the selected attendees will be awarded funds after the convention on a reimbursement basis.
Deadline for applying for one of the $800.00 grants is FRIDAY, FEB. 28, 2014.
“The CoSIDA Board instituted this new program to give deserving members some financial assistance in attending our annual convention,” said Shelly Poe of Auburn University, 2013-14 CoSIDA President. “We hope any members who have need will apply.”
The program is open to all CoSIDA members. Each individual must provide two documents, a letter of application and a supporting letter from a superior/supervisor that explains the need for the financial request. The two documents must be provided by
Friday, February 28 and will only be accepted online at CoSIDA.com. Self-applications are strongly encouraged as well. The committee will not share the names of applicants.
Convention registration and hotel reservations began on Monday, February 3 for the
2014 CoSIDA Convention, which will be held June 8-11 at the Orlando World Marriott in conjunction with NACDA & Affiliates Week.
Following the convention, the 10 successful candidates will be asked to provide a review of their experiences.
Members selected may not apply for the grant in the future.
Please consider a worthy individual to provide them with the tremendous opportunity to join their colleagues at our Annual Convention. For questions about the new CoSIDA Convention Attendance Grant Program, please contact Will Roleson, the CoSIDA Director of Internal Operations, at
