Rhodes Scholarship

The Rhodes Scholarship is a prestigious postgraduate opportunity for outstanding young people from around the world to study at the University of Oxford. As one of the oldest and most celebrated international scholarship programs, the Rhodes Scholarship recognizes and supports exceptional individuals who demonstrate academic excellence, character, commitment to service, and leadership potential. Scholars join a global community of over 4,500 living Rhodes Scholars residing in more than 100 countries. The scholarship provides comprehensive funding for postgraduate study at the University of Oxford, enabling scholars to pursue research-based master's and doctoral degrees across all academic disciplines. Beyond financial support, Rhodes Scholars benefit from a transformative experience that includes membership in a vibrant intellectual community, participation in the Character, Service and Leadership Programme, and access to lifelong fellowship through the Rhodes network. The application process involves checking eligibility based on the applicant's country of connection (citizenship or residence), submitting an application through the relevant constituency, and progressing through selection stages that typically include interviews. The Rhodes Trust seeks candidates who are impatient with the way things are and have the courage to act, reflecting the organization's mission to develop exceptional people who will make a positive impact on the world.
