Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)

Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) is a financial support provided to university students in the UK who have a disability, mental health condition, or specific learning difficulty. It helps cover extra costs related to studying, such as specialized equipment, software, or support workers like note-takers or tutors. DSA is not a loan; it is additional funding to ensure students with disabilities can access and succeed in their education on an equal footing. The application process involves assessing individual needs, and funds are allocated based on the specific support required.
