Secretary may determine period of less than 6 months
 (3) For the purposes of subsection (1), the Secretary may determine a period in relation to a person that is at least 2 months but less than 6 months if the Secretary considers that the determination would enable the person to qualify for a student start‑up scholarship payment on or near the day on which the approved scholarship course concerned started or starts.
