This proposal would extend the current Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) to support students undertaking postgraduate studies in accelerators or entrepreneurship education facilities run by successful entrepreneurs linked to universities.

This proposal would provide up to 2,000 additional places per year.

The student contribution for these studies would be capped at the Band 3 student contribution cap.

The studies would not be eligible for funding under the Commonwealth Grants Scheme.

The proposal would commence from 1 January 2023 and would be ongoing.
