‘An incredible opportunity’ – students encouraged to apply for £1,000 grant

10 lots of £1,000 available to University of Plymouth students thanks to Santander Universities

25 November 2024

The University of Plymouth is giving away £10,000, split between 10 lucky students, thanks to funding from Santander.

The Brighter Futures Grant has been developed in partnership with Santander Universities, aimed at providing students with funding to support their studies.

Grants can be spent on a variety of purposes including on living expenses such as accommodation and bills, or on study resources such as laptops, textbooks and stationery to aid learning.

They are available to all current University of Plymouth students including undergraduates, postgraduates, foundation year, part-time and full-time students. And entrants do not need to be a Santander customer.

Students can apply for the £1,000 grants until Thursday 5 December.

“Inspiring and empowering”

Here's what some of last year's recipients had to say:

This incredible opportunity will undoubtedly make a profound impact on my academic journey, and I am sincerely grateful for your support.

Receiving this grant not only eases the financial burden of pursuing higher education but also serves as a source of motivation and encouragement. The University’s commitment to fostering educational growth is truly commendable, and I am honoured to be a beneficiary of the Santander Grant.

With the assistance provided by this grant, I can now focus more on my studies, engage in meaningful extracurricular activities, and ultimately strive for academic excellence. The University’s belief in the potential of students like myself is both inspiring and empowering.

I am eager to make the most of this opportunity and am committed to using the knowledge and skills gained through my studies to contribute positively to society. I understand the responsibility that comes with this support and will do my utmost to make the Santander community proud.

Once again, thank you for investing in my education and future. I am truly grateful for the Santander Grant and the doors it opens for me.

I feel very lucky to have been chosen to receive this grant as it will help me massively in funding my placement/internship in Japan which is a great opportunity for me to expand my experience and skillset for the future.
