Disability Grants

Subject to the criteria for Hardship Awards, payments may be made to postgraduates towards actual costs arising from disability, depending on individual circumstances. The costs are those which arise from requirements of being a student which are over and above those met by the Disabled Students' Allowance provided by the LEA or any benefits provision. The DSA is available to postgraduates and includes provision for dyslexia. Application for disability grants are incorporated in the main Hardship application form.

In addition, payment of dyslexia assessments may be made from the Hardship Fund for delegates. For details on eligibility and dyslexia assessments, if you are enrolled at both Universities you can contact the appropriate Office at either University. Details are as follows:
