The Australasian Centre for Italian Studies is making a limited number of Travel Bursaries available, on a competitive basis, to current and recent postgraduate students who are not in full-time employment, to support their participation in its 2007 biennial conference in Brisbane.
To be eligible, applicants must be:
- presenting a paper at the conference
- in less than 0.5 of full-time employment
- currently enrolled in a postgraduate programme (MA by research or PhD) or have graduated with a postgraduate degree within the last three years.
Each bursary will be for up to $500, the amount being in part dependent on the distance the applicant must travel to attend the conference. Applications for funding must include the following:
1. Name and contact details including telephone number, email address and current home address (for posting a cheque). Those not resident in Australia must include bank account details for electronic funds transfer. 2. A statement of the applicant’s commitment to attend the entire conference. 3. The accepted abstract of the conference paper. 4. A brief curriculum vitae. 5. For current students, a letter of support from a supervisor confirming the relevance of the conference to the applicant’s research topic. 6. Proof of enrolment or date of graduation.
7. A statement of the distance to be travelled and a quote for lowest economy airfares.
Applications should be sent by email, post or fax, to:
