If ALF has run out you might think about asking senior management for a
contribution from what used to be called the Disability Premium - now
widening participation I think.

What happens if the AtoLF runs out? This has happened at Coventry and
just wondered if anyone had experience of this.
Many thanks

My thoughts entirely.
The reason the DSA is paid is because the student is incurring
additional costs. Therefore once the DSA runs out the student could be
argued to be running into financial difficulty. AtoLF can then
legitimately be used.....provided the HEI's ALF panel sees it that way
of course! In exceptional circumstances there is no limit to the amount
a student can receive......
cheers

We have a student who needs a specialist lab assistant for her
postgraduate microbiology project. Her DSA does not cover the amount
needed, which means that she may not be able to cover the costs of the
project she wishes to do.
Does anyone have any experience of successfully applying for grants for
students in a similar siuation? It would be really helpful to know if
there are organisations/companies/individuals who we could apply to for
funding for this student.
Many thanks
