Career Mentoring Santander Open Academy

The deadline for applications 10 April

This fund, which has been made possible through a partnership between Sheffield Hallam University and Santander Universities, allows students to participate in career and skill development opportunities, such as:

Taking up a work experience, internship or networking opportunity with career mentors.

Award amount is £1000 and will depend on individual circumstances of the opportunity proposed in a student’s application. Awards will be prioritised for widening participation students and are designed to boost confidence and develop industry skills and awareness for students from under-represented groups.

Successful bursary recipients will be joining a network of Santander Scholars across the globe and a key part of this process is the production of a case study. Students should keep a record or diary of their activities, which they can use as the basis for their case study.

Students must have the right to work in the UK and be available to complete the development activities by the end of July each year.

Applications can be made through the Santander Open Academy. Please see the video above on how to apply.
