Travel Awards

The Canadian Society of Occupational Scientists (CSOS) is proud to offer these awards to promote student scholarship in occupational science. These annual awards are open to all undergraduate and graduate students (full-time and part-time) who are members of CSOS.

Two awards, of up to $500 each, are given each year in help students attend national and/or international conferences.

The first award will be given to a student attending a conference that has occupational science as its central focus (e.g. conferences hosted by CSOS, SSO: USA, CAOT – OS Stream, etc).

The second award will be given to a student presenting work featuring an occupational perspective at a conference that does not have occupational science as its central focus (e.g. conferences on geography, gerontology, anthropology, migration, etc).

In years when CSOS hosts its biennial conference, one of the two awards will be reserved for a student attending this conference.
