There’s £10,000 for our students as part of Santander’s Brighter Futures Grants!

Are you juggling rent, bills, and study time? Brighter Futures Grants is here to help…

We’re giving away 10 Brighter Future grants of £1,000 each, through our partnership with Santander. 

All students are eligible, including undergraduates, postgraduates, part-time and full-time students.

Whilst this initiative is run in partnership with Santander, you also don’t need to bank with them to participate!

There are no strings attached. You can use the funds on anything you need - from textbooks and tech upgrades to everyday expenses like rent, bills and groceries.
