Back in 2018 Stormzy launched the Stormzy Scholarship, a programme that provided financial support to two UK-based Black students, helping pay tuition fees and maintenance costs for up to four years at Cambridge University. Now, the rapper has announced plans to help send a further 30 students to the university, as part of his ongoing bid to address the cultural and racial imbalance of students on its undergraduate courses.
Each student will be given an annual scholarship of £20,000, as part of the partnership between Stormzy’s #Merky Foundation and HSBC UK. This will cover tuition fees and maintenance for ten students each year, for the next three years.
