Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) are grants that can contribute towards some of the additional costs of studying at university with a disability or long-term health condition. 

DSAs may help with the costs of:

• specialist equipment, eg a computer if you need one because of your disability

• non-medical helpers, such as mental health mentoring and study skills for dyslexia

• extra travel needed as a result of your disability

• other disability-related costs of studying
