Oxford University denies it rejected Stormzy scholarship

  OO       Saturday, November 10, 2018

The University of Oxford has denied claims it rejected an offer by Stormzy to fund two black students through a scholarship scheme.
It told Radio 1 Newsbeat it "admires" his commitment but it had not "received or turned down any offer or proposal".
It comes after Stormzy claimed the university rejected his scholarship idea - which has since been taken up by the University of Cambridge.
Newsbeat has contacted the rapper's representatives for a comment.
At an event for his new publishing platform #Merky Books, Stormzy reportedly said he had approached Oxford with the idea.
Dan Hancox, who has written a book about the story of grime, was at the event in London on Wednesday.
