Last chance to win £1,000 Santander Brighter Futures Grant

It’s your last chance to win 1 of 10 Brighter Futures Grants. 

LJMU has teamed up with Santander to offer students at LJMU the chance to win 1 of 10 Brighter Futures Grants, each a £1,000 cash award. 

Applications close on 27 November 

The grants are open to all LJMU students studying in Liverpool. Those selected can use their Brighter Futures Grant to support their university experience; spend the money on your studies, accommodation or bills. The grant is a £1,000 cash award paid to your chosen bank account and therefore you can choose how to use the grant to best support you.  

The winner will be selected at random, and each student can only apply once. Students will be informed of their application outcome on 5 January 2026.
