Our DLS fund is here to help
The Discretionary Learner Support (DLS) fund can help us support you with:
- tuition and examination fees
- books and equipment
- travel – we offer support for travel for exceptional circumstances
- childcare
The DLS support fund is for learners from a household income below £26,000.
- You will need to meet residency requirements for fee remission
- You also need to prove that financial difficulties will stop you from following or completing your course.
WEA must approve any support. DLS support is a limited fund so it is not guaranteed, approval is dependent on your circumstances and DLS budgets
Below are links to the DLS forms, click on the relevant button to complete the form online.
Each form has helpful notes which explain the eligibility and approval processes, follow the instructions on the page and click submit once you have answered all the relevant questions. All forms should be completed before the course start and within two weeks of the course start date.
