Describing herself as a ‘young Black 18 year old with a dream’, Vittoria Mario launched a fundraising page so she could go to the University of Warwick to study mathematics.
Now, she’s going. Thanks, in no small part, to a £23,000 donation from Taylor Swift.

Mario, from Tottenham in north London, created her page on GoFundMe explaining that she recently achieved grades A*, A* and A in maths, further maths and physics so had been accepted to the prestigious uni.
