Description
The CSA Dependent Care Grant assists members of the Costume Society of America (CSA) who incur extra dependent care expenses in order to attend the national Annual Meeting and Symposium. The grant is intended to reduce financial barriers for members responsible for dependent care, such as young children, elderly parents, partners, or adult children with disabilities. Funding covers additional care costs—either at the symposium or at home—directly associated with symposium attendance. The program prioritizes applicants who are presenting at the symposium or are early in their careers.
