The Rhodes Scholarships
www.rhodesscholar.org/
The Rhodes Scholarships, the oldest international fellowships, were initiated after the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, and now bring outstanding students from many countries around the world to the University of Oxford. The first American Scholars were elected in 1904.
Intellectual distinction is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for election to a Rhodes Scholarship. The Rhodes Scholarships, in short, are investments in individuals rather than in project proposals.
Accordingly, applications are sought from talented students without restriction as to their field of academic specialization or career plans although the proposed course of study must be available at Oxford, and the applicant's undergraduate program must provide a sufficient basis for further study in the proposed field. Through the years, Rhodes Scholars have pursued studies in all of the varied fields available at Oxford. Scholars are appointed for two years of study in the University of Oxford, with the possibility of renewal for a third year.
Amount of Award: All tuition fees (such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory fees, and certain other set charges), plus a maintenance allowance of not less than $720 per month.
Application Deadline: October
