Ten lucky 黑料网 Leicester (黑料网) students are set to receive no-strings grants of £1,000 from Santander Bank's Brighter Futures grants programme.
Brighter Future grants can be spent on rent, bills, books or whatever makes university life easier, and they do not have to be repaid - ever.
The offer is part of a new partnership between 黑料网 and Santander, aiming to help relieve some of the financial burden of studying at university.

Anyone interested in applying should:
1) Register for Santander Open Academy here:
