The work we dld lart year to update our swems and processes stood us In good steèd for effectlve progrnmme delivery ihls year, even thls was Insuffi¢lent to cope with the scale of demand for our financla awards. Applicattons contrnue to grow at 3 rate which is Imp05yble to 5eNce and thi5 has forted the team to further review our programme delivery tsthrs.

O%n¥h•lmlni d•mand hr support The scale of applicaYon5 lo oyr firtandal award programmes means that an ellgible appllcani currently has no more than a 30% chance of receNin8 a disabiltyrelated study costs grant. and just a 1% chance of receiving a Snowdon master's scholarship. These odd5 are too low. Fundraising to inuea5e our tapacity to deliver sUPPOrt is an urgent priority but we are also looking at why applicatron numbers are increasing $0 5ubstanttalW. Some of it can b• simply attributed to the work we've done to ra15e our profile. but there are wider issues drvin8 thi5 growth. A st1¢kI plaster Our disabilrty-related 5tu(fy tost grant meets an urgent need lor support fN disabled Sdents who would otherwlse not be able to compleie their higher education studies effectively lor at alll. We break dxvn a barrier for disabled students. Bur the support we provide through these grants might also be called 'reasgnle adjustments. and those are the legal responsibility of higher education institutions under their PuFJic Sertor Equality Duty. We need io better understrnd what prevents universitr.es from meeting the 5UPPQrt nea15 of thelr disabled student5 and we need to ensure that by providing a stf(ing plaster for individual students. we are not masking the scale of a bigger STrmit problem.
