If you are a student who has additional needs and you are shortly finishing college, you may be wondering what are the next steps to ensure you have support in place for your university course 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.
The College Leavers Guide to the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) has been set up with the goal of providing the information you need to ensure support will be in place at the appropriate time.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Update)
Due to COVID-19 we are currently doing all our DSA assessments remotely either by video or phone call.
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.
