The Rhodes Scholarship
The Rhodes Scholarship is the world's oldest and most recognized international scholarship, offering full funding for postgraduate study at the University of Oxford. Each year, approximately 100 new scholars are selected from over 60 countries, making it a prestigious opportunity for those who demonstrate exceptional academic excellence, leadership, and character.
This scholarship not only covers tuition but also provides an annual stipend to support living expenses. However, it is important to note that winning the Rhodes Scholarship does not guarantee admission to Oxford, as candidates must apply and be accepted separately.
Eligibility
Candidates must be endorsed by their university, and eligibility varies by country. Generally, applicants should demonstrate a strong academic record (minimum GPA of 3.7/4.0), leadership experience, and a commitment to service. The scholarship is open to individuals from various countries, with specific requirements for different regions.
Deadline: Varies by country; check local constituency deadlines.
Benefits
The scholarship covers tuition fees and provides an annual stipend of £20,400, which is intended for one person only.
