Are you a disabled student finishing college and wondering what the next steps are to ensure you have support in place for when you start University in September?
The interval between applying for funding and receiving the appropriate equipment and support may be up to three months. It is therefore advisable that you apply as early as possible, if necessary, before the confirmation of your course.
This page has been set up with the goal of giving you all the information you need to get your support in place.
Covid-19 (Coronavirus Update)
Although the Covid-19 outbreak has affected educational institutions, we are still all working hard in student support to ensure your DSA is in place for September. In fact it is actually easier than ever for you to get your DSA support in place! This is due to the fact that face-to-face study needs assessments are no longer required and we can complete your study needs assessment over the phone.
This means we can take bookings from anywhere in the UK and you can complete your assessment from the comfort of your own home. (click here to book your assessment)
What is the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA)?
The Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) is a UK government-funded program providing students financial grants to cover any extra study expenses a student may have due to a disability. Both part-time and full-time students can get access to the DSA including those on postgraduate, distance learning and Open University courses.
Watch the short 2 minute video below for a complete overview of the Disabled Students’ Allowance…
