Stormzy has donated £500,000 to the Black Heart Foundation to provide scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.The 27-year-old made the new donation through his registered charity the Merky Foundation, and will help give substantial grants to around 50 students who need financial aid to engage in education of any form.The Guardian reports that previous recipients have used the funds to “cover the cost of travelling to a distant school, to train to be an airline pilot, and to allow them to concentrate on academic studies at university rather than worry about holding down a part-time job.”Scholarships from the Black Heart Foundation are available to those from underrepresented and underprivileged backgrounds, with the majority.
