I need to pay the first £200 for a laptop funded by DSA. Is there any other funding for this?
There are no direct funds available to cover the first £200 fee for the laptop. Students can use their maintenance loans, savings and student bank accounts to try and cover this fee.
If you do not receive a full loan or are having any queries with finances in general it may help to book an appointment with Money Advice Appointments
If you are in financial hardship you should apply to the Student Support Fund and the income and costs assessment can include the extra cost of the SPLD diagnostic contribution and /or the £200 fee for the laptop.
