Disability-related study costs grants

Disability should not disadvantage you from achieving your goals in education and beyond.

Snowdon Trust grants help remove barriers by funding disability-related study costs so you can access and participate in your studies in further or higher education.

We receive more applications than we can fund. Incomplete applications missing information or supporting evidence are less likely to be considered by the panel so you are encouraged to provide as much information as you can.

Snowdon Trust Grants can provide you with up to £5,000 to help cover essential disability‑related study costs. These grants help remove barriers so you can fully participate in further or higher education. Disability should not stop you from achieving your goals in education and beyond, and this funding is here to support you.

Please note that Snowdon Trust Grants are a fund of last resort. You should first explore statutory support such as Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) or local authority funding, as well as reasonable adjustments offered by your university. Because demand is high, take time to read the guidance carefully so your application is complete and well‑prepared.

We are not currently accepting grant applications. Check back here or join our mailing list for updates regarding future grant rounds.

We are likely to open for mobility related equipment grants (e.g. wheelchairs) later in the year, please contact us on [email protected] to register your interest in applying.

 

The support from Snowdon Trust has changed my life, boosted my confidence, and raised my expectations about my abilities.
