A) The Scholarship Scheme
The AIP must award two scholarships of $15,000 each to two of the best eligible candidates studying physics in Australian universities. Each scholarship recipient will be provided:
B) Eligibility
Candidates for the scholarships will only be eligible to be awarded a scholarship by AIP where they are:
i) enrolled in the final year of a degree with a physics major (AIP accredited)
ii) undertaking an honours year of study in the year following the award of the scholarship.
iii) able to demonstrate excellence and commitment to physics
iv) enrolled in full time study for the year they hold the scholarship
C) Selection Criteria
The AIP must the best select candidates on the basis of:
i) excellence in the candidate’s academic record for second year AND
ii) either the candidate’s academic record for second semester of second year and first semester of third year (for third year students) OR first and second semester of third year (for post third year students) AND
iii) a cover letter provided by the candidate of no more than one page explaining the candidate’s motivation to study physics including an outline of their plans for further studies and research AND
iv) a letter of support from the Head of Department or Lecturer from the candidate’s third year courses.
D) Administration
Each state and territory of Australia can submit one application to the AIP executive for consideration using the following process:
i) Candidates must submit their applications to the Head, or representative, of the Physics Department in which they plan to undertake their honours year.
ii) Heads may forward one candidate to their state or territory AIP branch.
iii) Each state or territory AIP branch may forward one candidate to the AIP executive for consideration. The state branch would make the final decision on what constituted a “third year student” or a “post third year student” to allow for possible difficulties of interpretation associated with combined course students.
iv) The AIP executive will select the two finalists and one reserve and forward these to DSTO for approval.
v) If one or more of the candidates approved by the DSTO decline the scholarship, the AIP will select replacement candidate(s) from the applications received and will forward these to DSTO for approval.
Applications must be received by the AIP Executive no later than: 28 October 2006
