Santander Scholarship Programme

The University of York has partnered with Santander Universities to offer scholarships to support students during the 2025/26 academic year. This scholarship is designed to help with education-related costs including tuition fees, course materials, accommodation, and career development. The Santander Scholarships 2025/26 initiative supports current university students in reaching their full potential and enhancing their future career prospects. Two scholarships are available for current University of York students enrolled in any year of undergraduate or postgraduate study. Applications are made through the Santander Open Academy platform, which also provides access to free on-demand courses and programmes from top global institutions. Preference is given to students who have participated in University of York Access & Outreach Programmes including Next Step York, Black Access, or Realising Opportunities.
