Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA) is a grant from the Government. It provides study-related support for students with disabilities and additional needs. It can fund specialist software, equipment, travel support and non-medical helper support such as mentoring or study skills tuition, depending on your needs.

Check out our webpages on DSA for more information.
