• if pursuing a Research Doctorate, three years at full-time study;
• In the case of those pursuing a Research Masters degree, two years full-time.

2. If a Research Doctorate student is making satisfactory progress and the reasons for the extension pertain to the study and are outside of the student’s control, the Scholarships Committee may approve an extension of the FIPRS for up to six months. A scholarship extension is not available to research masters students. Scholarship holders pursuing a Research Doctorate degree may request an additional six-month extension of their scholarship’s term under exceptional circumstances. Before the first semester’s work has started, a second (extra) semester extension cannot be approved.

• Students with Research Masters degrees who throughout the term of the award upgrade their candidacy to a Research Doctorate degree;
