College Sports Information Directors of America

Twenty CoSIDA professionals will be attending the association’s June convention as a result of their selection as convention attendance grant recipients. For half of the recipients, it will be their first CoSIDA convention.

The Convention Grant Attendance Program doubled in size for 2015 to 20 grants worth $800 apiece. Each grant includes a complimentary convention registration, which is a change from 2014, allowing all of the grant funds to go toward hotel nights, transportation and per diem. The 2015 convention will be held June 14-17 at the Marriott Orlando World Center.

Athletics communicators from Division I (seven), Division II (four), Division III (three), NAIA (four) and two-year colleges (two) are represented.

There is a good regional diversity as well.

Applicants submitted a personal letter indicating their interest in attending, why they haven’t attended recently and what they hope to learn at the convention, as well as a letter from their supervisor or business manager detailing the school’s inability to fund all or a majority of the related travel expenses.

As part of receiving a grant, each winner will be recognized at one of the convention awards luncheons and will help CoSIDA’s Convention Operations Committee with on-site duties. In addition, recipients will provide written reviews of their experience following the convention.
