Same issue here at Goldsmiths. There is the Snowden Award Scheme but we
found out the student needed to apply in August at latest and this was
limited to something like £2,000. TDA said the funding they provide is for
general accessibility improvements not for individual student's needs.
We have asked the university to fund the balance.
