The University of Oxford is accepting applications for Rhodes Scholarship.
The Rhodes Scholarship is a life-changing opportunity to join outstanding young people worldwide to study at the University of Oxford. Applying for the Scholarship is a challenge, but it is an experience that has helped generations of young people to succeed. They encourage applications from talented students everywhere. Rhodes Scholars come to the UK for two or more years and can apply to study most full-time postgraduate courses offered by Oxford University. The Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest (first awarded in 1902) international scholarship program, enabling outstanding young people worldwide to study at the University of Oxford.
Established through the Will of Cecil John Rhodes in 1902, the Rhodes Scholarship was a genuinely visionary project for its time. Over a hundred years later, the Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest and perhaps most prestigious international scholarship program in the world, enabling outstanding young people from around the world to undertake full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford, (ranked first internationally in the Times Higher Education rankings for 2017 and 2018).
One of the founding aims of the Scholarship was to identify young leaders from around the world who, through the pursuit of education together at Oxford, would forge bonds of mutual understanding and fellowship for the betterment of mankind.
The Rhodes Scholarship covers Oxford University course fees and provides an annual stipend. For the 2022/23 academic year, the grant is £18,180 per annum (£1,515 per month) from which Scholars pay all living expenses, including accommodation. Please note – this is not sufficient to cover partners or dependents.
