Welcome to the CNS Foundation Awards Portal

Required File Formats for Submissions:

1. All documents that are being submitted must be in PDF. 
2. Any image files must be uploaded with a minimum of 300 dpi.
3. Names of files for uploading and submission MUST follow these parameters:

  • File names may not exceed 30 characters.
  • Curriculum Vitae (CV): “Applicant Last Name_Applicant First Name_CV”
  • Letter of Recommendation: “Applicant Last Name_Applicant First Name_LOR”
  • All other files must begin with applicant’s last name and not exceed 30 characters. We recommend adding a descriptor after the last name to match it to the specific question field (for example, if the question asks to submit a budget, you should label the file "Applicant Last Name_Budget")

How to Submit

1. Review the requirements and qualifications of the specific award to ensure you meet eligibility prior to starting application. Information on each award can be found on the CNS Foundation Awards page. 
2. Create an account to begin the process. This application portal is a secure site which is not associated with your CNS membership account. 
3. Begin a new application or access applications in progress with the "Start" button. When you begin a new application, it will bring you to a drop down menu where you can select which category of award you wish to apply for. Please note, you can apply for any award, but for Observerships and Visitorships awards, each applicant is limited to up to 3 programs that they may apply to so it is recommended that you have identified the 3 programs prior to beginning the application process. 

Start

Please note, all applications can be saved and revisited to complete anytime before the submission window closes. All saved applications can be found under My Account > Incomplete Submissions. 

Should you wish to withdraw your application for any reason, please select the "Withdraw" option on the application you wish to remove and then email foundation@cns.org with the subject line "Withdraw Application" and provide your name and which award you want to withdraw your application from (only Admin can complete the withdrawal process).
