Postgraduate Scholarships 2008 Conditions Booklet
(APA, MRS, MIRS, FMS, HRS, Prestigious and Other Major Scholarships)
16. Termination of scholarships
Students must notify the MSO of any changes in their enrolment and other circumstances that may affect their eligibility to continue receiving a scholarship, or risk termination of the scholarship. Please see section 18 for other student obligations.
Payments will cease from the date the scholarship is terminated.
Scholarships will be terminated in the following circumstances, whichever comes first:
(a) if the student ceases to meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the conditions,
(b) at the end of the period for which it was granted,
(c) upon completion of the course,
(d) when the thesis is submitted. A scholarship cannot then be reinstated should the thesis require revision and resubmission,
(e) when the student ceases to be enrolled full-time if approval has not been granted for the scholarship to be held on a part-time basis,
(f) if the student does not maintain satisfactory academic progress,
(g) if the course of study is not carried out with competence and diligence or in accordance with the scholarship offer,
(h) if the University determines that the student is guilty of serious misconduct, including, but not limited to, the provision of false or misleading information. Students will be required to repay to the University any scholarship/s that they have received on the basis of false or misleading information included in their application. Scholarship benefits may include living allowances, fee remission and travel allowances,
(i) if the student does not resume study at the end of a period of leave or formal arrangements (via the MSO) have not been made to extend the period of leave,
(j) if the student accepts another equivalent award, scholarship or salary to undertake their graduate research degree that provides a benefit equal to or greater than 75% of the base APA or MRS stipend rate and does not suspend their scholarship while receiving the concurrent award, scholarship or salary, or
(k) upon the death, incapacity, resignation or withdrawal of the student from the course.
Scholarships may also be terminated (or the student placed on probation) before this time if, after due inquiry, the University forms the view that the student has not complied with the Conditions set out in this document.
