Zoah Hedges-Stocks, 23, who was born into a travelling fairground, will graduate from Cambridge University this week.
Ms Hedges-Stocks, who never completed a full school year and grew up in a caravan, spent every summer term working on her mum's food van selling burgers, toffee apples and candy floss to fairgoers.
She used to work at Cambridge University's prestigious May Balls and hoped to study there.
This Saturday she will graduate with a First in History, after studying for three years at Murray Edwards College.
She said: “I still can't quite believe I have got a First, it has been a lot of hours and a lot of essays.
