The GSI Helmholtz centre for Heavy-Ion Research is one of the world’s leading laboratories for fundamental research using a heavy-ion accelerator facility with a linear accelerator UNILAC, a synchrotron SIS18 and a storage ring ESR. Over the next years the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will be constructed on the GSI premises adjacent to the existing complex. The centre provides unique research opportunities for investigations in the fields of nuclear and hadronic physics, atomic, laser and plasma physics, materials science and biophysics with applications in cancer therapy, as well as new accelerator developments and radiation safety.
Every summer the centre invites students in physics or related natural science disciplines from Europe or GSI/FAIR partner countries to participate in an International Student Program.
Scope: As the main task, each participant will work on a small research project in one of the research groups. A series of lectures will be held as an introduction to the various branches of research and applications using heavy ions. Free accommodation will be provided in guest rooms. Travel support as well as a daily allowance will be provided by GSI. Further details are given on the web page below.
Qualification: The program is intended for students at the undergraduate level, who have completed 3 years of study in their major discipline.

9. Private Institution-Sponsored Scholarships
The strong partnerships of the University with business and industry, professional associations, religious groups and individuals, privately-run corporations and establishments have come to offer scholarship grants for philanthropic and humanitarian purposes. These private institutions vary in their scholarship requirements and conditions.
The University grants scholarship privileges as grants-in-aid to students who excel in their studies, as well as to those who qualify as members of USC varsity teams and USC performing arts groups, and to those who are financially deprived. Scholarships are likewise afforded to deserving students who meet the requirements of alumni associations, government and private scholarship benefactors. The Scholarship Program then at USC consists of those sponsored by the University, Alumni, Government and Private Institutions. Application Forms for Scholarships are to be obtained from the Office of Scholarships. Duly accomplished forms together with the specified requirements have to be submitted within the official registration period, unless otherwise specified.
As a general rule, scholarship grantees are not allowed double-scholarship at the same time. But, if there are those qualified for two scholarships funded only by the University, they can be entitled to the scholarship that provides the higher financial grant, upon the endorsement of the Office of Scholarships. However, those who are beneficiaries of a scholarship grant funded by other institutions, not by USC, or private individuals are entitled to also avail of a tuition fee discount privilege due them because of scholastic excellence (i.e., Graduation Honors and Dean’s Honors List) and membership in varsity teams and performing arts groups recognized by the University.
