Do I get any help with university fees?

Tigernew40

hi there

i have recently been diagnosed with autism and have a small outstanding student loan,

to keep my brain busy I would like to go to university but was wondering if there is any financial help for this?

  • Hi NAS90278

    You can find information about starting university on our transitions pages for each UK region here: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/transitions

    Click on the link for your region and open the relevant page on "Starting college or university".

    Kind regards

  • You can get disabled student allowance which helps pay for books, gets you more help with course work, exams etc, but I'm not sure it goes further than that. Also if you've already got a degree will you get any funding for a second?

  • the university will help you by celebrating autism awareness month and painting things like crosswalks in a colour they claim represents autism, to signal that they are helping.... im sure a coloured autism crosswalk will help you with your school debt lol
