Can I get funding towards equipment if I have a learning difficulty?
The Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) Fund is for students who require financial assistance for two specific reasons:
- Educational Psychologist Assessment
- Contribution towards authorised, official DSA equipment
You must have registered with our Additional Learning Support team (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.
Should you be experiencing general financial difficulty in terms of essential living costs, you should also apply to the BU Financial Support Fund.
