A University of Cambridge college will offer the country’s most generous grant scheme to attract the most talented youths and stop them leaving the UK for Ivy League universities in the US.
St John’s College will offer £50,000 ($70,738) a student for up to 40 undergraduates from lower-income backgrounds so they can graduate free of debt.
Those who qualify must come from families whose household income is less than £16,200 a year.
The scheme will fully fund tuition fees and living costs at university, and the college hopes to offer it indefinitely.
Scholarships from the grime star Stormzy offer a similar amount, but only for two students a year at Cambridge.
