Host Institution(s): Oxford University in UK
Fields of study: Rhodes Scholars
come from many academic backgrounds and pursue a wide variety of courses at
Oxford. Applicants should review the Oxford’s postgraduate degree courses to
determine the degree for which they would apply.
There are very few
restrictions on the full-time post-graduate degrees supported by Rhodes
Scholarships. Rhodes Scholars may only undertake the Master of Business
Administration or the Master of Financial Economics in the second year of the
Scholarship. Number of Scholarships: A class of 83 Scholars is selected each
year
Target group: Students from Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Hong
Kong, India, Jamaica and Commonwealth Caribbean, Kenya, New Zealand, Pakistan,
Southern Africa (including South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia,
and Swaziland), United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Scholarship
value/inclusions: A Rhodes Scholarship covers all University and College fees,
the university application fee, a personal stipend for living expenses (£13,658
per annum 2014-15), private health insurance, and economy class airfare to and
from Oxford at the commencement and conclusion of the scholarship.
Eligibility:
The Rhodes Trust warmly welcomes applications from talented young women and men
of diverse backgrounds. Selection of Rhodes Scholars is made without regard to
gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, religion, sexual
orientation, social background, or disability.
The
following eligibility criteria apply to all applicants for the Rhodes
Scholarships:
•
Citizenship & residency: Each applicant must fulfil the citizenship and
residency requirements of the Rhodes constituency for which they are applying.
Please check the detailed information carefully via the country links.
• Age: Age limits vary between
constituencies and range from a minimum age limit of 18 to a maximum of 28 by 1
October of the year following selection. In most constituencies, the age limit
is 24 or 25. Please check carefully the specific age requirements for your
constituency before applying. Successful candidates will arrive in Oxford the
October following the selection process. The Scholarship may not normally be deferred.
• Education: All applicants must
have achieved academic standing sufficiently advanced to assure completion of a
bachelor’s degree by the October following election. Academic standing must be
sufficiently high to ensure admission to the University of Oxford, which has
very competitive entry requirements, and to give confidence that Rhodes
Scholars will perform to a high academic standard in Oxford. Individual
constituencies may specify a 1st or equivalent. Some constituencies require an
undergraduate degree to have been taken within the constituency of application.
Application instructions: All candidates for the Scholarship should read the
information about the Scholarships applicable globally, and then proceed to
their country-specific page to read the application criteria, eligibility
requirements, and deadline specific to their country. Applications for Rhodes
Scholarships open during the spring and summer of the preceding year. Deadline
varies per country but is around July-October of the preceding year you wish to
study. It is important to read the how to apply page ( http://www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk/page/applying-for-the-rhodes-scholarship ) and visit the official
