We have used and hope to continue to use Access to Learning Funds for uk students not eligible for DSA. Student have to apply on the ALF form. For Overseas students we have set up a DSA fund of our own to provide some assistance. Again DSA -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Linda Maguire Sent: 20 September 2004 13:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Supporting students not entitled to DSA Hi All, I realise how busy you all are, but would be grateful for some advice. A few of our students for various reasons are not entitled to DSA. Therefore, we have had to find sources of funding, either from the faculty or school in which the student is enrolled or from Disability Services. This year, I have been able to ear mark some funding to use in these instances, and was looking at establishing a 'Disability Support Fund'. However, I was wondering how other Institutions dealt with supporting these students. has anyone else established a fund? and if yes, what mechanisms do you have regarding the application process? what is the eligibility criteria etc. any advice would be welcome. Best Wishes Linda
