CLOSING DATE 26 OCTOBER 2007
DSTO and the AIP have established the DSTO-AIP Scholarship Scheme to celebrate the Einstein International Year of Physics 2005 in Australia. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide two scholarships to the value $15,000 each to two suitably qualified candidates. DSTO will provide the funding for the Scheme and AIP will administer the Scheme.
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.
Selection Criteria
The AIP must select the best 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.
Each state and territory of Australia can submit one application to the AIP executive for consideration using the following process. Candidates must submit their applications to the Head, or representative, of the Physics Department in which they plan to undertake their honours year.
Applications for the DSTO scholarship from each university should be sent as an email attachment to your local AIP branch chair by 26th October 2007. A decision will be made by the end of November 2007.
