A
Rhodes Scholarship covers all University and College fees, a personal stipend
and one economy class airfare to Oxford at the start of the Scholarship, as
well as an economy flight back to the student’s home country at the conclusion
of the Scholarship.
The
basic tenure of the scholarship is two years, subject always, and at all times,
to satisfactory academic performance and personal conduct.
Eligibility:
The
following eligibility criteria apply to all applicants for the Rhodes
Scholarships:
• Citizenship
& residency: Each applicant must fulfill 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.
