A student may be entitled to STARTUP - HELP assistance for an accelerator program course if certain requirements are met. In particular:
(a) the course must lead to a qualification that is accredited, by a suitable higher education provider, as being integral to the development of startup businesses; and
(b) the provider must have selected the student for STARTUP - HELP assistance.
The amount of assistance to which the student may be entitled is based on the accelerator program course fee less any up - front payments. There is a limit on the total amount of assistance that the student can receive. The assistance is paid to the provider to discharge the student's liability to pay the fee.
Note 1: Amounts of assistance under this Part may form part of a person's HELP debts that the Commonwealth recovers under Part 4 - 2.
Note 2: This Part does not apply to Table C providers: see section 5 - 1.
