Information for Students

The Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA) scheme has been subject to the most radical and far-reaching reforms in its history over recent years.
From September 2015 students have been expected to pay the first £200 toward the cost of any computer paid for through the DSA and from the start of Academic Year 2016/17 DSA no longer pays for what was previously known as ‘Bands 1 and 2’ support, e.g. note-taking, laboratory support, etc. for students making new claims for a DSA.
For up to date information about the Disabled Students’ Allowance scheme still funds please speak to one of our advisers, or your DSA needs assessor.

What does Queen Mary University of London provide for students who need to pay £200 toward their DSA funded computer equipment?

If a student has been assessed by the Student Loan Company as having a low household income then they will be eligible to apply for a £200 award from QMUL.  This can be processed upon receipt of an application accompanied by a valid ‘DSA2’ letter from their funding body which confirms that they will be expected to pay this amount toward their computer.

Students will only be able to apply for this award after they have enrolled at the university.
