High interest savings account provider HSBC launches student competition

Thu 26th Aug 2010

HSBC has kicked off a project that will see eight students win bursaries, with a representative from the firm highlighting that this is twice as many as it offered in 2009.

Youth and student segment manager at the company Matt Nguyen said that he is delighted to be able to present more chances for students to get their hands on the £15,000 grants.

The competition is being conducted on Facebook and Mr Nguyen believes this could help the organisation reach as many people as possible.

He remarked: "Going to university is a time of discovery and we wanted to help students with a real vision for their futures have the opportunity to realise their full potential."

In order to enter the contest, individuals must upload a 90-second video of themselves explaining how they would make their mark on the world with the help of the bursary.

This month, HSBC announced that it is extending its opening hours in several branches across the UK.
