The Rhodes Scholarship Australia

The Rhodes Scholarship is one of the world's most prestigious international scholarship programs. Each year, nine Rhodes Scholarships are available for outstanding Australians to study at the University of Oxford. Of the nine scholarships available each year in Australia, each state offers one Scholarship that is awarded by a selection committee of seven members based in the state. In addition, there are three Australia-at-Large Scholarships awarded by a selection committee based in Canberra. About 100 Rhodes Scholars are selected from around 60 nominated countries around the world every year, with two Global Scholars selected from any other country. There are now over 5,000 Rhodes Scholars worldwide, and alumni connections are growing. Competition for Rhodes Scholarships is extremely competitive and candidates selected for interview are of outstanding quality. The scholarship covers all Oxford University and College fees, a personal stipend, private health insurance, and return airfare to Oxford.
