Open uni on disability?

tsamuels

Hi guys,

im currently on the old esa system on income based esa and high rate mobility and high rate care PIP. I’ve been really looking into doing an open uni degree/course lately but there’s no way I can afford the fees. Does anyone know if they do any grants etc for people on benefits/disability? If so how do they help and has anyone done it? Thank you in advance.

Hello @tsamuels

Welcome to the community! Scope have two pages of information that I think you'll find useful to read  

The first is, How Student Finance effects your benefits, if you decide to go down that road for your course. The other is Funding for disabled students in higher education. 

What are you looking to study?
