“We are immensely grateful to Santander; these scholarships are building the confidence of students and really adding valuable skills to their CVs,” said Professor Blackman.
“Over the past six years in excess of 200 students have benefitted from Santander supported excellence scholarships, work placements, support for entrepreneurship, and work scholarships.
“We’re delighted to extend our special relationship with Santander as we continue to create and develop the leaders of tomorrow.”
