Disabled Student Allowance

Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) provide extra financial help if you want to study a higher education course and have a disability such as Dyslexia.

You can apply if you are doing an undergraduate or postgraduate course (including a distance-learning course) that is:

• full-time and lasts at least one year
• part-time, lasts at least one year and does not take more than twice as long to complete as an equivalent full-time course

Assessments provided by Dyslexia Assessments can be used as evidence to apply for DSAs.  

More information about DSAs can be found on the Directgov website.
