When can a student apply for a Financial Means Test to be conducted?

There are four instances when a student can undergo a financial means test:

1. A student can undergo a financial means test at the time of application for funding for a specific postgraduate qualification.
2. In instances where a student upgrades from a masters to a doctoral degree and did not get an opportunity to undergo a financial means test.
3. In instances where a student was awarded an extension support for masters and they want it converted into a doctoral scholarship and did not get an opportunity to undergo a financial means test.
4. If there are compelling reasons e.g. individual contributing to household income becomes unemployed or deceased.
