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......

Subject: Grants for Postgraduate Science Student
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
