Santander Universities Scholarships

At Providence College, Santander Universities supports undergraduate student opportunities for international study and service through diversity scholarships and service-learning grants. The diversity scholarships are offered for under-represented students in study abroad. This includes students from under-represented racial/ethnic groups, first-generation college students, and students with physical or learning disabilities. The global service-learning grants are available to both individuals and College-sponsored groups. Students must be participating in the increasing and varied number of service opportunities abroad.

Eligible students may receive up to $2,500 for short-term programs and up to $5,000 for semester programs. Students can also receive up to $8,000 for academic year programs. Santander Universities and Providence College are currently in year six of a 10-year partnership, following a seven-year agreement extension in 2013. Since 2010, Santander has invested more than $1.2M in global education at PC, helping more than 400 students who sought to globalize their PC experience. Recipients of Santander awards have studied more than 52 different countries including Australia, Belize, Denmark, Ecuador, Ghana, Morocco, Costa Rica, Thailand, and the UK. In addition to academic support, Santander is the official sports sponsor of Providence College’s athletic program. This marks the first time Santander has entered into a college sports sponsorship in the United States.
