Rhodes Scholarship Fund
Masters/PhD Degree

Deadline: 1 Aug 2023 (annual)
Study in: UK
Course starts Oct 2023

A Brief Introction: 

The Rhodes Scholarships have just lately been given out in 20 constituencies, which represent more than 60 different nations. The Rhodes Scholarships are now completely international thanks to two new Global Scholarships that allow qualified applicants from throughout the globe to apply (upon nomination). The Rhodes Global Scholarship is seeking exceptional young leaders who are driven to tackle global issues and advance peace and understanding on global scale.

Host Institution(s):

Oxford University in the UK

Level/Fields of study:

Any full-time postgraduate degree at the University of Oxford, with some exceptions.

Number of Scholarships:

2

Target group:

Students who are not from existing Rhodes constituencies

Scholarship value/inclusions/duration:

A Rhodes Scholarship covers all University and College fees, a living stipend (£18,180 per annum 2022-23); settling in allowance, health insurance, visa, two economy class flights – to and from the UK – for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford.

The basic tenure of the scholarship is two years, subject always, and at all times, to satisfactory academic performance and personal conduct.

Eligibility:

a. Nationality/citizenship: You may only apply to the Global Scholarships if you are not eligible to apply via any existing Rhodes constituency. If you have a strong connection to one or more Rhodes constituency but do not meet their eligibility criteria, you should also consider inter-jurisdictional consideration rather than the Global Scholarship.

b. Age:

You must meet either of the below criteria:

i. You must be aged 18-23 on 1st October 2023 (i.e. you must have been born after 1 October 1999 and before 2 October 2005).

OR (for older candidates who completed their first undergraduate degree later than usual)

ii. You must be under the age of 27 on 1st October 2023 (i.e. have been born after 1 October 1996) AND you must also have completed your first undergraduate degree on or after 1 October 2022

c. Academic achievement: You must have already completed, or will have completed by July 2024, an undergraduate degree (normally a Bachelor’s degree) with an academic background and grade that – at a minimum – meets or exceeds the specific entry requirements of your chosen full-time course at the University of Oxford.

Given the very intense international competition for places at the University of Oxford, candidates will have a greater chance of successful admission to Oxford if they have a First Class Honours Degree or equivalent or a GPA of 3.70/4.0 or higher.

d. English language: You must have a sufficiently high standard of English to meet the English language proficiency requirements (at the Higher Level listed) of the University of Oxford.

e. If unsuccessful in your first application to the Rhodes Scholarships, you may subsequently re-apply only once more (and this must be in the same constituency), subject to meeting the eligibility criteria
