Scholarship for Students With Disabilities at Westminster University, UK

The Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) is available to UK/Home students with a disability or specific learning difficulty. If you are an international student with a disability, get in touch with the Disability Learning Support team for guidance on your funding options.
Description
The DSA is designed to help with any extra costs you may incur as a result of studying on your course. It is not means tested against your income and you will not need to pay the money back. Also, unlike the Maintenance Grant, the DSA does not affect the amount of Maintenance Loan you can get.

The Disabled Students Allowance can contribute towards:

• equipment (computer, specialist software etc.)
• non-medical helpers (note-takers, readers, sign language interpreters etc.)
• travel
• general (extra costs of consumables)

• you are a UK/Home student and meet Student Finance England's residency requirements

• you have a disability (including long-term mental health problems) or specific learning difficulty (eg dyslexia)
