If you're a postgraduate course student and have been assessed as eligible for a capped bursary place you can apply for DSA.
Once your attendance on the course has been confirmed by your college or university, you can apply through your MyFunding account at any time during your academic year.
Applying for DSAs towards the end of your course
If you apply for DSA towards the end of your course, you may still be able to get specialist equipment if there is evidence of need for it.
We may ask you to consider if there are more economical alternatives to buying equipment.
The assessment of study needs report may recommend you have initial training in using such equipment and provide quotes to hire the equipment instead of buying the item.
