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.

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? Clare Davies
