Students at the University of Reading will benefit from a £120,000 fund through a partnership with Santander, through its Santander Universities Global Division.
The three-year agreement, signed at the University yesterday (12 December), will set up new scholarships for students to study in Reading, funding for the University’s rowers to train at a top venue, and cash for a business start-up training camp for students and local people with big business ideas.
Sir David Bell, Vice-principle of the University of Reading, said: “This is an excellent link-up between the University of Reading and Santander Universities that will bring real benefits to students, staff and the local community. This partnership makes the most of some our existing strengths. We’re already a global university, with more than 6,000 students from outside the UK and a new branch opening in Malaysia. This project will add to our growing international outlook.”
Luis Juste, Santander Universities Director in the UK, said: “Today is a day for celebration as Reading joins the over 1,000 partners of Santander Universities. Reading is not only good at teaching but is also a research-focused institution that has received high praises for its work in the past few years. In addition, its international spirit and cutting edge approach were just two of the reasons why we wanted to sign this agreement with Reading.”
The signing ceremony in Reading was attended by members of Santander and Reading, and it finished with a reception where both parties discussed the opportunities that this new partnership will bring in the next three years.
Santander has signed 66 agreements with UK universities and over 1,000 worldwide. The funding of higher education has become Santander Bank’s trademark since its foundation in 1997.
