Am I eligible to apply?

• You must first consult the Disabled Students' Allowance website to see if you are eligible to apply for DSA.

• If you are, then you must apply for DSA and wait for the outcome before you can apply for an SDAF grant.

• Students who are disabled but are not entitled to DSA (either because they are ineligible or because they have been refused) are more likely to receive an award from the SDAF than students who are entitled to DSA.

• If you are eligible to apply for an SDAF grant, you will have to complete an application form and the provide us with supporting evidence. If your application is incomplete, or if you do not deal with follow-up queries promptly, we will not consider it further...
