Accessibility statement

DSA is a government grant that covers study support costs for students with disabilities in the UK. It is non-means-tested, has no age limit, and is non-repayable.

It could help you by paying for extra equipment, support or additional costs, such as printing, a specially adapted computer, or travel.

You can find more information about DSA on our disability support website.

If you are resident in England and are required to pay a £200 contribution towards the cost of your DSA computer, you may be eligible to apply for support towards the cost of this through the Study-Related Costs Fund.

Aiming to help people with a wide range of disabilities, The Snowdon Trust can also help provide support through additional funding for disability-related costs. They accept applications from students with physical or sensory disabilities for costs not fully provided for by available statutory funding.

See further information about grants from The Snowdon Trust.

Awarded by the Student Health Association, this bursary is designed to help with additional costs incurred due to your disability. To apply, they typically expect students to have also applied for DSA and be able to provide the outcome of that application.
