The Bursary for Students with Disabilities and the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Persons with Permanent Disabilities (BSWD/CSG-PDSE) is a provincial and federal bursary administered by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
Students with a permanent disability are eligible to receive up funding towards the cost of disability-related services (e.g. note-takers, tutors) or accessible software (e.g. screen-reading software, voice-recognition software), hardware (e.g. trackball mouse, headphones) and other assistive technologies (such as scanners, CCTVs, and printers).
However, students must meet a list of eligibility criteria in order to access this funding.
One of the main concerns raised by students is the lack of information about the bursary. Students for Barrier-free Access has obtained information about the bursary, including eligibility criteria and guidelines for the administration of the bursary.
