How to apply

The Covista Foundation operates one grant cycle per year. We are no longer accepting Letters of Inquiry for 2026. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review our funding priorities and prepare for our next cycle, which will open in early 2027. Thank you for your commitment to building and sustaining the healthcare workforce.
