We’re excited to support our Queen's students with the return of the Brighter Futures Grants programme in partnership with Santander. 

What is Brighter Future Grants?
We’re giving away 10 grants of £1,000 each. 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.
