Additional Support We Can Offer You

Disabled Student Allowance (DSA)

DSA is a grant to help with any extra essential costs you may have as a direct result of your disability, including a long-term health condition, mental-health condition, or specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia or dyspraxia. The type of support and how much you get depends on your individual needs – not your household income.

Note: DSA is available to full-time and part-time students studying a Higher Education course.

To find out more about financial benefits you could be entitled to contact Learning Link or Student Finance.
