"Stormzy effect" - a record number of black students at Cambridge

For the first time, black students made up more than 3% of new undergraduates at Cambridge University, and, partly at least, it's thanks to Stormzy. Grime artist has pledged to fund the tuition fees and living costs of two students each year, BBC reports. This year 91 black students were admitted to the university, up about 50% from the 61 who started courses in autumn 2018. The university said the new figures were reflective of wider UK society; Stormzy agrees - "This is amazing - there's no way that this is because of me alone". In other Stormzy news, he has made the cover of Time magazine as on of “next generation leaders”.
