Santander Universities is the philanthropic arm of Santander that supports 83 university partners with funding and student opportunities in education, employability and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
The Open University has just renewed its partnership with Santander Universities for a further 3 years, to include this annual programme of \u00a310,000 in grants for students to support their studies through the Santander Scholarship Platform.<\/p>\n
The winners will be announced by 30th November 2022.<\/p>\n
