Ten Brighter Futures Grants worth £1,000 can be won to support you during your studies.

All students can enter including undergraduates, postgraduates, part-time and full-time students. You also do not need to be a Santander customer to enter.

Santander Universities is offering Brighter Futures Grants to support as many students as possible through their educational journey and help ease living costs.

The grants can be used to support your university experience, i.e. on learning resources, or can go towards the cost of accommodation or bills to help you out with living expenses.

How to apply

To be in with a chance of winning, you must register on the Santander Open Academy platform, and apply for the initiative. On the application form, you must select the relevant University name.

Applications close on Friday 29 March 2024. You'll be informed on the outcome of your application by Wednesday 17 April 2024.

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be enrolled as a current student in any year of your degree, or be starting your university degree this autumn
  • Know your student ID number - you will be required to add it when you apply
