Disability Support

There are two different sources of funding for students with disabilities and enquiries are
handled through the Equal Opportunities department in the University. Email disability@
admin.ox.ac.uk if you have any questions regarding the funding.

Disabled Student’s Allowance (DSA)

DSAs are available to all UK (“home”) students. They are not means-tested and the assistance
does not have to be repaid. Applications are made through the student’s LA (formerly LEA) and
further details can be found at on the University's Disability Office website.

The Dyslexia Fund

Students can now apply to one source, centrally, to cover the costs of their dyslexic assessment.

For further information see the Disability's Office website.

If for any reason the forms you need are not available in your college, contact the Student
Funding Office for advice.

Further information can be found in OUSU's 'Guide for Students with Disabilities' - contact the VP (Welfare) for more information.
