Apply for services or equipment for students with disabilities

How you apply for services and equipment is changing as StudentAid BC transitions to a new application system.

Once StudentAid BC verifies and establishes your disability status, you can apply for the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment – Students with Disabilities. This grant helps pay for extra education-related costs, such as services and equipment you need to support your studies.

How to request equipment to support your studies

  1. 1 Make sure your disability status is established.
  2. 2 Visit the accessibility services office at your school. The accessibility services officer will:
    • help you identify the equipment that may support your studies
    • complete and submit the Equipment Request form and send it to Assistive Technology BC
  3. 3 Assistive Technology BC will contact you to set up a meeting to review equipment needs
  4. 4 Your equipment will be ordered
