Student Scholarships for Conference Presentations

Financial support is available from the NSW Branch of the AIP for NSW student members to attend conferences, in areas directly related to physics.

Reports from recent recipients
On returning from the conference, recipients of sholarships are required to submit a short (~ 1 page) report on their experience. This is placed here on the NSWAIP website and may also be published in ‘Australian Physics’. Photos are certainly welcome.

Applying
To be eligible you must:
- be a bona fide student

To request support, complete the application form and submit this along with:
- brief letter from your supervisor stating the importance of you attending the conference and what other financial support you have applied for e.g. from your university.
- evidence that you are contributing to the conference e.g. invitation from the conference to present a talk.
- proof that you are attending e.g. receipts such as airline bookings.

Completed applications and supporting documents should be sent to the Honorary Secretary of the AIP NSW Branch (see contacts).


Please note:
- Support will not be offered to the same student more than once in any calendar year, except where one of the conferences is an AIP Congress.
- Financial support is not guaranteed and the level of support may vary depending on demand, and the level of participation at the conference. The maximum amount will not exceed $500.
