This week is the last opportunity to apply for the Brighter Futures Grant which offers £1000 to 10 BU students to support with living and study costs.
The funds can be spent on anything to make your university life easier, whether it’s buying tech or textbooks, upgrading your study space, or covering living expenses - the choice is yours.
All students can enter, including undergraduate, postgraduate, part-time and full-time students.
It’s simple and easy to apply. You do not need to be a Santander customer:
- Register for Santander Open Academy, a free online learning platform, if you haven’t already got an account.
- Click the verification link sent to your email address.
- Log in and choose 'Get Started' to complete your entry for the Brighter Futures Grant programme and select ‘Bournemouth University’ in the application form.
- Submit your entry by 11pm on 27 November 2025.
Once applications close, ten student winners will be selected at random, and each awarded a £1,000 grant.
