Cost-of-living boost for OU students with chance to win £500 from Santander Universities

Back for a second year running, the OU is teaming up with Santander Universities to offer 20 lucky students the chance to win £500 cash in a free draw.

To enter, students need to be currently enrolled, be based in the UK, and then sign up via Santander’s Becas platform here.  Enrolment is open now with the closing date being 13 November 2022.

The offer of support for students couldn’t come at a better time with the cost-of-living crisis threatening to make it a challenging winter for students in the UK.

One of last year’s lucky winners said the cash was put to good use to help with their studies…

“I was amazed when I heard that I had won one of the £500 grants from Santander Universities. I bought a new laptop and it helped pay for my internet for a few months. Thank you.”

Santander Universities is the philanthropic arm of Santander that supports 83 university partners with funding and student opportunities in education, employability and entrepreneurship.

The Open University has just renewed its partnership with Santander Universities for a further 3 years, to include this annual programme of £10,000 in grants for students to support their studies through the Santander Scholarship Platform.

The winners will be announced by 30th November 2022.
