Financial Support for Domestic and International Students

Domestic Students

The accommodation has been booked and only requires you to indicate whether you will be staying at Sancta Sophia College (University of Sydney) on the application/registration form. If you qualify for a subsidy, your accommodation including breakfast and dinner will be paid. If you do not qualify, you will need to pay the University of Sydney on arrival. The rate is $72 per night.

The registration fee for students from AMSI member and associate member institutions is $143. For students from other institutions the fee is $715.

You are required to make your own travel arrangements. Again, if you are from an AMSI member istitution and live outside the Sydney metropolitan area, you are eligible to apply for a travel subsidy. You will then be reimbursed for your economy air, train or coach fare to and from Sydney to a maximum amount as shown below. To claim the subsidies you must present original documents like tickets and receipts upon arrival at the University of Sydney.

International Students

The registration fee is $AU715 (which includes GST). There are two categories of subsidies: ICE-EM Subsidies for postgraduate students or early career academics from Asian and Latin American universities, and ICE-EM PRIMA Accommodation Subsidies for postgraduate students enrolled full-time in universities that are members of the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association (PRIMA). For more details see below.

If acceptable to their home institutions, students can be assessed and receive credit for one or two courses of 28 contact hours each.

ICE-EM Subsidies

Applicants must be enrolled or employed full-time in a university in Asia or Latin America. They should have English language skills equivalent to IELTS level 6.5, although level 7 is preferred for students seeking assessment.

Applicants should submit an Application/Registration form, but do not have to pay the registration fee until they know whether or not they have been awarded subsidies.

In addition they should submit the following in any common format, such as PDF, postscript or text:

• Undergraduate record (postgraduate students) or CV (early career academics).
• Letter of support/recommendation from supervisor or head of department.
• Statement giving reasons for wishing to attend the ICE-EM/AMSI Summer School (up to one page).
• Indication of English language level, such as TOEFL or IELTS scores, previous study or conference attendance in an English speaking country, or publication of papers in English.
• Cost of return economy air travel to Sydney.

Second-round applications close on 1 December 2006, and successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email shortly thereafter.

ICE-EM PRIMA Accommodation Subsidies

ICE-EM is offering up to ten subsidies for accommodation for four weeks to postgraduate students enrolled full-time in universities that are members of the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association (PRIMA) to participate in the Summer School. The subsidies cover the cost of room and board (valued at approximately $AU2000 for four weeks).

Because of reciprocal relations amongst PRIMA institutions, PRIMA students pay the same registration fees as AMSI students - that is, $AU143.

Applicants must be enrolled full-time in a PRIMA university. Non-native English language speakers should have English language skills equivalent to IELTS level 6.5, although level 7 is preferred for students seeking assessment.

Applicants should submit an application/registration form, but do not have to pay the registration fee until they know whether or not they have been awarded one of the subsidies.

In addition they should submit the following in any common format, such as PDF, postscript or text:

• Undergraduate record (honours students) or CV (Master’s or PhD students)
• Letter of support/recommendation from supervisor
• Statement giving reasons for wishing to attend the ICE-EM/AMSI Summer School (up to one page)
• Indication of English language level, such as TOEFL or IELTS scores, previous study or conference attendance in an English speaking country, or publication of papers in English.

Second-round applications close on 1 December 2006, and applicants will be notified by email shortly thereafter.
