Who is eligible for travel
and accommodation support? |

Any full-time student from an AMSI institution
and living outside the Brisbane metropolitan area is encouraged to apply

| Q. |
Am I an AMSI student? |
|
|
A. |
The term "AMSI student" means anyone who
is enrolled as an postgraduate student at an AMSI Institution
during first semester 2006, or will commence enrolment in second semester
2006. Your application can be endorsed by your current supervisor or Head
of Department. Other circumstances which lead you to believe that you should
qualify as an AMSI student will be considered on a case by case basis. |
|
|
| Q. |
Will the courses have assessment? |
|
|

No, Graduate School courses will not be
assessed. However, all participants are required to give a seminar about
research they have undertaken recently or are carrying out at present.
|
|
|
| Q. |
Am I guaranteed
of getting into my first choice of course? |
|

your choice. Where necessary, preference will be given on the basis of
early application and academic merit. The final decision on course placements
is at the discretion of the organisers. |
|
|
