What happens next

As soon as we receive your form we will go through your details and then check your references once they arrive. If you are claiming dyslexia-related study costs, our Selection panel will need to see your most recent Education Psychologist’s report, which should be no more than three years old.

We may ask some extra questions at this stage, before confirming that your application is complete and ready to be presented to our Selection panel – in July or September, depending when you apply. Applications received after the closing date of 31 May will be considered at the Panel’s second funding meeting in September.
