Grime star Stormzy, 28, has already helped six black students attend after starting the #Merky Foundation in 2018.
The first two have just graduated.
The foundation has formed a partnership with HSBC UK, which yesterday pledged £2million to support the expansion of the scheme.
Stormzy said: “For 30 more black students to have the opportunity to study at Cambridge University — the same year our initial 2018 scholars graduate — feels like an incredible milestone.”
