The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is pleased to offer grants to Canadian postsecondary students to attend Asteroid Comets Meteors (ACM 2026) under their Announcement of Opportunity (AO) to support Canadian Student Participation in Space Conferences and Training Events. Successful applicants will be awarded a grant to cover their accommodations and meal allowances, registration fees, and travel expenses.

To be eligible for a grant under this AO, applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

Although not an eligibility requirement, priority may be given to students who have been selected by the organizing committee to give a presentation (oral or poster) during the event. Priority may also be given to applicants from underrepresented populations. The CSA therefore encourages applicants to indicate, on a voluntary basis, if they belong to one or more of the four following groups: women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities.

Please note that students who have received an ESA Academy scholarship to attend this event are not eligible for a CSA grant.

Instructions on how to submit an application can be found in Section 4 of the AO. Please read these instructions carefully and submit your application to the CSA no later than May 12, 2026 at 1:00 PM (EDT).
