Can I get funding towards equipment if I have a learning difficulty?
The BU DSA Fund is for students who require financial assistance for two specific reasons:
Educational Psychologist Assessment (£350)
Contribution towards authorised, official DSA equipment (£200)
You must have registered with ALS and will be required to provide proof that these expenses have been incurred. Full details of the BU DSA Fund and the link to the application form can be found here BU DSA Support Fund.
As the fund is specific, you should not apply if you require financial assistance with any other expenses or are in general financial difficulty. In this case, you should apply to the BU Financial Support Fund.
