Applicants from more than American colleges and universities have been selected as Rhodes Scholars. In most years, even after a century of competition, a Rhodes Scholar is selected from an institution which has not formerly supplied a successful applicant.
Rhodes Scholars are chosen not only for their outstanding scholarly achievements, but for their character, commitment to others and to the common good, and for their potential for leadership in whatever domains their careers may lead.
Upon Cecil Rhodes' death, the scholarships were created in The first Rhodes Scholars arrived at Oxford in and the first U. Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in The fellowship of Rhodes Scholars, worldwide and across generations, is active and over 4, strong. Rhodes Scholars therefore enter a life-long fellowship with ongoing opportunities to connect with current and Senior Scholars and, beyond that, a warm and engaging community within Scholars typically develop enduring friendships.
The Rhodes Scholarship opens up opportunities for Scholars before, after and during their time in Oxford. Rhodes Selection Committees are looking for young people of outstanding intellect, character, leadership, and commitment to service. The four criteria which governed the selection of Rhodes Scholars in are still the guiding criteria for the selection of Rhodes Scholars:.
The Rhodes Scholarship is for two years in the first instance. The Rhodes Scholarship covers Oxford University and College fees as well as providing an annual stipend. Please note - this is not sufficient to cover partners or dependants. The detailed Conditions of Tenure document outlines permitted combinations of degrees, and how many years of study are covered by the Scholarship, as the latter depends on course choice - for example up to three years of fees and stipend is available to Scholars who choose to undertake a DPhil PhD at Oxford.
Following selection for the Scholarship, the Rhodes Trust will cover the fee required to apply to study at the University of Oxford. The Rhodes Trust will cover two economy class flights - to and from the UK - for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford. For those Scholars who transition to a second course of study in Oxford, they will again receive assistance to cover the fee for visa renewal and further application for IHS.
A number of research grants are also available to Rhodes Scholars, on application, which enables Scholars to, for example, attend international conferences or conduct additional fieldwork. We would encourage you to have a good look round the information provided on this website as you will find out everything you need to know.

In addition, there are three Australia-at-Large Scholarships awarded by a selection committee based in Canberra. This selection committee will consider applicants from the ACT and Northern Territory 'the Territories' , as well as those candidates nominated by state selection committees.
Please note that applicants cannot apply directly to Australia-at-Large. About Rhodes Scholars are selected from around 60 nominated countries around the world every year, with two Global Scholars selected from any other country. There are now over 5, Rhodes Scholars worldwide, and alumni connections are growing. In ambiguous cases, the decision of the National Secretary is final. ANU students can apply through the Australian Territories panel to be considered for the Australia-at-Large scholarships, or can apply in the state in which they completed at least two years of secondary schooling, in which case you should contact that state panel for more information.
If you meet the eligibility criteria for more than one Rhodes Constituency, you must only apply to one. You should apply to the Rhodes Constituency with which you have the greatest connection. Competition for Rhodes Scholarships is extremely competitive and candidates selected for interview are of outstanding quality. Before candidates submit an application, they should realistically assess their ability to meet all of the qualification and eligibility criteria and to compete at this elite level.
Entry to Oxford is also extremely competitive. One economy class airfare to Oxford at the start of the scholarship and one economy flight back to the student's home country at the conclusion of the scholarship.
In addition to the completed application form, you need:. Candidates are required to contact their referees to confirm that they are able to submit a reference by the due date, then to enter their referees' contact details into the on-line Application Form. Please note that once the referee details have been typed in and saved to the system, an email will be automatically sent to referees with instructions on how to submit their reference on-line. The system will then attach the referee reports to the candidate's application for viewing by the Selection Committee members.
Please note that we do not expect to receive hard copy references. The Australia-at-Large administrator does not contact referees to seek reports - it is up to each candidate to check with the administrator that all their reports have been received.
All referee reports must be received by the due date. The Selection Committee may not be in a position to make use of reports received after this date. For information regarding applying through the Territories for an Australia-at-Large Rhodes Scholarship, please contact:.
