At Queen’s University Belfast we believe in nurturing academic excellence and limiting the burden of financial stress. In a bid to support our students in as many ways as we can, we’re pleased to announce the return of the Santander Brighter Futures Grants programme. This is a golden opportunity for Queen's students to win £1,000 and amplify their educational journey.

We’ll be giving away 10 grants exclusively to our students. This includes undergraduates, postgraduates, part-time and full-time students. And, whilst this initiative is run in partnership with Santander, you don’t need to bank with them to get involved.

What sets this initiative apart is that there are no strings attached! We trust you to allocate the funds where you see fit. From textbooks and tech upgrades, to alleviating everyday expenses such as rent, bills and groceries, we’re giving you the freedom to decide how you want to invest in your education.

Entering is quick and easy, just follow the below steps and you can have your application done in a matter of minutes.

Here's how to enter:

1.) If you haven’t already, register for Santander Open Academy- a free online learning platform

4.) Get your entries in by 11pm on 29 March 2024.
