We’re pleased to announce that the Brighter Futures Grants programme, in partnership with Santander, is back! You can win 1 of 10 cash prizes worth £1,000 to level-up your academic life! 

All King's students are eligible to enter, including undergraduates, postgraduates, part-time and full-time students. This initiative is run in partnership with Santander, but you don’t need to bank with them to get involved - no strings attached! 

Winners can spend their £1,000 however they’d like - from textbooks and tech upgrades, to helping with everyday expenses such as rent, bills and groceries, or anything else that will help you put your focus back where it needs to be.
