Each subsidiary also runs programmes that adapt to the needs of its communities.

We offer a wide range of educational programmes to meet people’s employability needs, with grants for higher education, travel, research and internships, plus free courses that are admissions-based or have open enrolment, as well as learning content (books, audiobooks, podcasts, videos and e-books).

We closed 2022 having invested 100 million euros in helping over 265,000 people and companies through education, employability and entrepreneurship programmes. We took in applications in 11 countries to over 1,100 scholarships and courses, which were announced on the Santander Open Academy website. 

We have been a stalwart of education, employability and entrepreneurship for over 27 years, investing over 2.2 billion euros and helping over 1 million people and companies.
