HI,

I start full time study at uni at the end of February, I've noticed on the centrelink website that we can apply for Austudy up to 13 weeks before starting the course but it also says that you will not get the start up scholarship if you do not start full-time study within 35 days of qualifying for the scholarship. Does that mean that in order to get the scholarship I would have to apply for Austudy 35 days before starting the course?
