University is a challenge for anyone – but when you have a disability, it becomes all the more tricky to traverse the pitfalls of life on campus. Often, at the forefront of these worries is finding the money to be able to fund day-to-day living expenses, the cost of accommodation, and your lifestyle.

The Disabled Students' Allowance is a grant which gives students in the UK extra financial support while studying an undergraduate, postgraduate, or doctorate degree. This aid is not included as part of your maintenance loan or tuition fee.

As part of the DSA, you might also be eligible to apply for a new computer (outside of financial support). You will need to pay towards the first £200 of this cost, with the rest covered by the DSA scheme.
