Medical Student Travel Awards

In addition to multiple awards & scholarships provided by COSM Societies, COSM provides Travel Awards to attend COSM. The purpose of this award is to encourage first and second year medical students to explore careers in Otolaryngology.

The application period for COSM 2024 is now closed. Please check back October 2024 for the COSM 2025 Travel Award application.

Award winners will receive complimentary registration to COSM 2024, $250 cash, plus attend the Student Meet and Greet “Get to Know ENT” events during our Combined Poster Receptions on Thursday, May 16 and Friday, May 17 from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm.

These events are co-hosted by the Society of University Otolaryngologists and the Association of Academic Departments of Otolaryngology. Students will have the opportunity to meet with Directors and Program Chairs from Otolaryngology programs across the country. 

All questions regarding the Award should be directed to cosmsupport@facs.org.
