Snowdon Trust is always available but funds are limited (smile).
The list idea would also be great for the Panel as we can then check that HE establishments are meeting their requirements for students as part of our decision making too.

agreed this would be a good idea - will save disability officers getting
multiple emails asking for this info :)
What about possible sources for students where the HEI doesn't have a
fund available? Maybe Snowdon or similar? Anyone any ideas so we can
maybe compile a list of places students can apply to if they are really
worried about where they're going to find the money?
