The University of Leeds has announced a two-year renewal of its partnership with Santander. In its 3 November update, the university says the arrangement will provide £50,000 this academic year for student opportunities, including scholarships, entrepreneurship and career support awards.
The partnership dates back to 2007. Leeds reports that Santander has contributed more than £2 million over that period to support students and graduates. That cumulative figure is separate from the funding announced for the current academic year.
The announcement also highlights access to Santander Open Academy, a free online learning platform available to Leeds staff, students and graduates. Brighter Futures grants are among the opportunities mentioned in the renewed arrangement.
Students interested in support should check the individual schemes’ current eligibility and application information. The announcement describes the partnership and its intended uses; it does not specify a single application deadline or suggest that every student will receive an award.
