COSM provides Travel Awards to attend COSM every year. The purpose of this award is to encourage first and second-year medical students to explore careers in Otolaryngology. This is a part of COSM's mission—and one of the most critical aspects of our mission—to encourage your participation in our meeting.
Requests for COSM 2026 Travel Awards will open on October 1, 2025 and close on February 2, 2026.
Qualifications for the COSM Travel Award: The application is available for first and second-year medical students exploring careers in Otolaryngology. Residents and third-year medical students may also apply for consideration; however, priority will be given to those who live in the region where the COSM meeting is being held, followed by first- and second-year medical students.
Award winners will receive complimentary registration to COSM 2026 (all Societies, all Access), $250 cash, plus attend the COSM Meet the Leaders in Otolaryngology events during our Combined Poster Receptions on Thursday, April 23, and Friday, April 24 in the Exhibit Hall. We request that awardees attend at least one of the sessions.
Deadline: Monday, February 2, 2026.
Awardees will be notified in mid-February.
