Our bursary programme can be used towards the cost of dyslexia assessment, consultations, specialist tuition for children/students and skills development coaching for adults. Each bursary application is carefully assessed, using the information you provide below. All bursaries are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis and are subject to the degree of need in each case, and the availability of charitable funds. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to grant all bursary requests, due to lack of funding.

It will increase your chances of being granted a bursary if you volunteer an amount in the ‘Client Contribution’ box. We have learned from experience that people are much more likely to successfully engage with our services if they have volunteered a financial contribution of their own. Please note that payments can be made in instalments. Thank you.
