Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)

Disabled Students' Allowance

The main support you'll receive at uni is through the Disabled Students' Allowance (sometimes called DSA). It's really important you apply as soon as possible because this is what our students find to be the most beneficial support.

 DSA is a non-repayable grant to cover some of the extra costs you may have because of a disability or long term condition. It can also help to cover costs of specialist equipment and non-medical support such as a mentor or tutor.      

All students are assessed based on their individual need and the support will be bespoke to your specific disability or condition. You’ll be able to apply for this once you're have your Student Finance England loans account set up.
