In May 2003 COGS implemented a travel and educational endowment. Awards from this endowment are given to Ph.D. and Masters graduate students enrolled at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities for travel to conferences or other educational programs required for their curriculum held outside of the Twin Cities area.
This endowment allows COGS to give awards every year to graduate students at the University of Minnesota. Students must apply no later then March 24 at 1pm to be eligible for that year's fund.
See our awards page for more details about this award, including requirements and our downloadable application.
The COGS Endowment accepts donations of any size. Donating insures that we can continue to give awards to graduate students for years to come. The COGS Endowment is maintained through the University of Minnesota Foundation. All donations are tax deductible and can be sent to:
