Additional Support Funding

Funding can be used to cover additional study-related expenses that arise specifically as a result of your disability. 

This allowance offers help towards specialist equipment, classroom support and travel costs because you need taxi transport to get to College.

These funds are not means tested on family income but do require an assessment by the College’s Extended Learning Support Team.

If you have a disability or additional support need please contact Student services and we will be pleased to discuss your requirements.

Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) funding can be used to cover additional study-related expenses that arise specifically as a result of your disability. It is available to full-time Higher Education students and part-time students studying at least 50% of a full-time equivalent higher education course.

Student services staff can advise you on the DSA process and the appropriateness of making an application to your funding body. Further information is available from UHI's DSA page.

If you have a disability or additional support need please contact the campus where you plan to be/are enrolled as soon as possible, where student services staff will be pleased to discuss your requirements.
