What is the difference between a disabled student and any other student in
this context?   My son has just had university interviews all over the
country - only one offered travel expenses and they were clearly desperate
for students.

        Subject:        applicant travel costs for interviews

        Who is responsible for funding travel expenses to enable a disabled
student
        to attend an academic interview?  Do other HEIs offer to pay this,
and if so
        under what circumstances?  Where else might a disabled applicant
obtain such
        funding if he/she can not afford the travel costs?
