Rhodes Scholarship Deadline
Thursday, September 2

Description: A highly prestigious award that enables a student to study at Oxford University for two years with a possibility of a third year. Rhodes' intention was to strengthen ties between the UK and the rest of the English-speaking world and to advance the careers of those seeking to advance the public good. There is no specific GPA requirement, but a good academic performance is very important. Equally important, however, are certain personal qualities: a demonstrated ability to lead, a commitment to serving the wider community, physical vigor and, in general, energy, ambition, and success in fields of endeavor other than academic study. All educational costs, such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory and certain other fees, are paid on the Scholar's behalf by the Rhodes Trustees. Each Scholar receives in addition a maintenance allowance adequate to meet necessary expenses for term-time and vacations. The Rhodes Trustees cover the necessary costs of travel to and from Oxford, and upon application, may approve additional grants for research purposes or study-related travel. More information...
