Can you count the letter "c" in:
Stormzy will pay for everything, including all tuition and maintenance fees for up to four years of academic study- funding two students through this academic year and two more through the next.
Stormzy’s decision comes in the wake of Cambridge and Oxford coming under fire for their incredibly low admission of Black, Asian and various ethnic minority background students.
In fact, admittance at colleges is a staggeringly low percentage, between the years 2012-2016, Cambridge University did not accept any Black students at all- it did however admit 58 in 2017.
Stormzy’s decision to fund student scholarships came in the wake of Cambridge appealing to parents and schools for more guidance and encouragement for their ethnic minority and working class pupils to sign up to Cambridge.
Cambridge feel that the lack of support and knowledge from teachers is letting pupils down, as they often have no one to guide them through the application process.
Stormzy, who did not go to university but did get six A*s, three As and three Bs at GCSE, feels that his contribution will get more people to realise what they are capable of.
The scholarship has had great success, with students such as Julia, who achieved three A*s in history, politics and English literature, now able to head to Cambridge University in September, a feat which before would have been difficult financially.
If you would like to be considered for the scholarship, make sure that you get your applications in by October 15th.
Once you’ve got your offer, you’ll have until 30th August, 2019, to apply for the scheme, you’ll just need to have your offer under your belt and be of a Black heritage.
