Birkbeck Students Offered Opportunity to Win £1,000 Prize

Santander Universities are offering ten Birkbeck students the chance to win £1,000 to support their studies. The grants are available to all students including undergraduates, postgraduates, part-time and full-time students. 

Ten students will be selected at random to receive the cash prize and will be able to spend the Brighter Futures Grant on a variety of purposes to support their university experience, including on living expenses such as accommodation and bills, or on study resources such as laptops, textbooks and stationery to aid their learning.  

Rachna Purdue, Deputy Director of Philanthropy, commented: “We’re delighted to announce the return of the Brighter Futures Grants programme for Birkbeck’s students. Birkbeck, University of London and Santander are committed to creating an academic environment where students can focus on what truly matters – their studies. As the cost-of-living crisis continues to impact the College’s diverse student community, we know this flexible support for our students is vital in helping them stay on course to succeed in their time at Birkbeck and beyond.” 

To apply, visit the Santander Scholarships platform and register for an account. Students do not need to bank with Santander to apply. Applications are open, and will close on Friday 29 March 2024. Applicants will be informed on the outcome of their application by Wednesday 17 April 2024.
