Scholarship and Travel Funding Advice

Scholarships:

Scholarship Top-Up's [this is advice only, as of June 2004]:

You can "top-up" your scholarship with additional funding from these sources. 

  • Division of ICS Top-Ups: $5000
    • You must hold an APA or a RAACE and be in some top bracket of your Honours year.
  • CSIRO Top-Ups: $7,000
    • You must hold an APA or a RAACE.  Top-Ups are offered competitively based on your academic transcript.  Comes with travel allowance.  Usually you can't get this and the any other top-up at the same time... though, in practice they won't really find out.
  • Postgraduate Research Teaching Supplement
    • If you qualify for this, this just means that if you want $8000 worth of academic work, you'll get $8000 worth of work.  Note, other scholarships limit you to 10 hours of work per week and this "supplement" might exceed that...  It seems as though there isn't much of a difference between this and applying for casual academic work to begin with, since both use the same Resume/CV application process, and preferences are usually given to PhD students anyway. 

Postgraduate Research Funds [as of May 2004] (for things like travel, purchasing equipment):

  • There are two main sources: the ICS divisional funds and the Macquarie University funds
    • The general rule-of-thumb is: apply for the divisional funds in your 1st and 2nd year and the Macquarie University funds in your last year.  The divisional funds may be applied for all year round.  You can also receive this funding once a year.
    • You can apply for and receive both at the same time, though you may only receive the Macquarie University funds once.
    • Student advice:
      • Stephen Choularton [May 2004]:  The Macquarie University fund application must be typed and reviewed by the department.
