Additional funding for disabled students

The Disability Contingency Fund, or DCF, is a discretionary fund intended to help support students with disabilities who are not eligible to apply for statutory funding.

International and EU students are a priority group for DCF.

Eligible students may apply for DCF funds to cover the cost of any support provisions they may require as a result of their disability, eg support workers or specialist equipment.

DCF cannot be used to contribute towards the costs of tuition fees or maintenance.

Students who would like to apply to the Disability Contingency Fund, or who have any other questions about disability support at the University of West London, are advised to contact a disability adviser to discuss their requirements.

You can contact the Disability Team confidentially on 020 8231 2739 or e-mail disabilityteam@uwl.ac.uk.
