Applications for these grants will close on 5 December.
The University has teamed up with Santander to give away 10 grants of £1,000, and all University of Edinburgh students are eligible to apply.
From textbooks and tech upgrades to helping with everyday expenses such as rent, bills and groceries, students can use the funds in any way they like to support their studies.
Whilst this initiative is run in partnership with Santander, you don’t need to bank with them to apply.
