Hi Christine,

If a student had run out of DSA and was eligible for ALF then yes, we could use ALF for that support here as well.

Can anyone confirm that ALF can be used for additional tutorial support?  I'm having difficulty convincing the administrator here that its an admissible cost.

Hi Rachel,

We really struggle with students not getting or not having enough DSA here as well.  Of course, you could try the Access to Learning Fund, you should be able to get £3,500 from them. 

I would also try the Snowdon Award Scheme, look them up on the net, if you can’t find them then e mail me off list and I should be able to find their details, two of our students received grants from them last year. 

Kind regards

Hello All

I think this topic caused some discussion recently but I wondered if anyone can help....

We have a profoundly deaf student who is taking a f/t MA in fine art and he requires:

Electronic Notetaker
BSL Interpreter
Additional tuition support

The postgraduate DSA is woefully short of the amount of finance required to cover this support, which I know many of you are aware of!  Can anyone suggest/advise how they have 'topped up' the funding and which, if any, charitable organisations have been applied to?

Grateful for ideas/information on this, either here or offline to my email address below.
Thanks
