The CSA Dependent Care Grant provides grant monies to CSA member(s) attending the symposium who: are bringing small children to the symposium; incur extra expenses in leaving their children at home, or; are responsible for dependent care (elderly parents, partners, adult children with disabilities, etc.). Priority will go to those who are presenting at the symposium and/or are in the early stages of their careers. This grant does not permit an "overhead" or "operational cut" that many colleges and universities typically take from grant funds they receive. Please visit the award's website or contact the Costume Society of America for more information.
