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 Mannix College (Monash University, Clayton Campus) on the application/registration form. If you qualify for a subsidy, your accommodation including breakfast, lunch and dinner will be paid. If you do not qualify, you will need to pay Monash University on arrival. The rate is $49.50 per night. In general no accommodation subsidies are available for students from within the Melbourne metropolitan area. However, in exceptional cases we may be able to help you if commuting to Monash from where you live is "not possible". Talk to us if you feel that this is the case.

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. If you are from an AMSI member institution and live outside the Melbourne metropolitan area, you are eligible to apply for a travel subsidy. You will then be reimbursed for your economy air (including air port shuttle transfer), train or coach fare to and from Melbourne to a maximum amount as shown below. To claim the subsidies you must present original tax receipts upon arrival at Monash University.

Please bear in mind that these numbers are absolute maximum values. Of course, we would very much appreciate if you endeavour to obtain the cheapest economy fares available at the time (more money left for beer!).

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 Melbourne.

Applications close on 16 November 2007, 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.

Applications close on 16 November 2007, and applicants will be notified by email shortly thereafter.
