Top-up policy for fellowship recipients (as of Jan 1, 2024)
Students are expected to apply for competitive fellowships as these strengthen your CV and provide important financial support for your host lab. As an added incentive and in recognition of your success in these competitions, IPN expects supervisors to provide top-ups that bring your stipend above the mandated IPN minimum stipends. Top-up amounts should be no less than the following:
For awards < living allowance:
Student stipend is the living allowance, plus tuition/fees/insurance, plus at least 10% the value of the scholarship.
For awards ≥ living allowance and <$35,000:
Students receive their full award, plus tuition/fees/insurance, plus at least 10% the value of the award.
For awards ≥$35,000:
Students receive their full award plus tuition/fees/insurance.
