Santander travel bursaries
Through Keele’s long-standing partnership with Santander Universities, we are able to offer up to 30 travel grants for students undertaking language studies at Keele.
To qualify for a Santander Travel Grant you must be a full-time undergraduate or post-graduate student at Keele and must be enrolled in a language module offered by the Language Centre. The grant will enable students to attend intensive language summer schools or language teaching practicals at one of our partner universities abroad.
The value of awards will range from £200 to £1,400. The exact amount awarded will depend on the course cost and travel expenses.
Eligibility and selection criteria
Any full-time undergraduate or postgraduate student enrolled for a language or language-teaching module at Keele University is eligible to apply.
Priority will be given to the following groups of students:
