We are excited to announce the return of our Brighter Futures Grants programme in partnership with Santander.

Once again, we will be giving away 10 lots of £1,000 for University of Sussex students. All students can enter, including undergraduates, postgraduates, part-time and full-time students.

The grant, with its no-strings-attached approach, aims to provide financial freedom and gives you the flexibility to use the funds where they are needed most. Whether it’s investing in textbooks, upgrading your study space or covering living expenses, the choice is yours.

Our 2023 winners used the funds on a range of different resources. Anabelle, an undergraduate student in the School of Life Sciences, told us: “This prize will help me purchase a new laptop as my current one is so old and slow and battery life is terrible. This prize money can help contribute to an updated version that can help support the data software I need to complete my degree.”

The Brighter Futures Grants programme is an investment in your academic journey, providing you with the tools you need to do well.
