The Student Health Association
The Student Health Association is a charity which aims to promote the highest possible level of health for students studying at University and advance health education for all that work in student healthcare. We run the Student Enablement Fund (est.1967) which helps students with disabilities to keep up with their studies. Students can apply for bursaries of up to £500 to support them to remain in higher education.
Bursaries & Awards
Administered by the Student Health Association, the Student Enablement Fund provides financial support for students with disabilities to stay on track with their studies. Eligible applicants must be enrolled in higher education at least on a nearly full-time basis, and the maximum award available is £500. Students are encouraged to apply for the Disabled Students Allowance before seeking assistance through the Student Enablement Fund.
Healthcare Professionals
To support those who work in a student health care setting, the Student Health Association serves as a forum for members to discuss matters relevant to the provision, quality and effective management of student healthcare. We provide the opportunity to share ideas, discuss issues of common interest and best clinical practice. We organise conferences and study groups to share learning and also facilitate and monitor research.
