The Oxford University 2024 Rhodes Scholarship for International Students (Fully funded)

The University of Oxford has opened the call for its 2024 Rhodes Scholarship for International Students.

The Rhodes Scholarship is a fully funded, full-time postgraduate grant that allows bright young people from all around the world to study at Oxford. Applying for the Scholarship is a competitive and challenging task, however, it is one that has helped generations of young people thrive. We welcome applications from brilliant students from all over the world.

About Rhodes Scholarship

Established through the Will of Cecil John Rhodes in 1902, the Rhodes Scholarship was a truly visionary project for its time.  Over a hundred years later, the Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest and perhaps most prestigious international scholarship program in the world, enabling outstanding young people from around the world to undertake full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford, (ranked first internationally in the Times Higher Education rankings for 2017 and 2018). 

One of the founding aims of the Scholarship was to identify young leaders from around the world who, through the pursuit of education together at Oxford, would forge bonds of mutual understanding and fellowship for the betterment of mankind.

Our reputation as the world’s most distinguished academic scholarship rests not on the controversial life of our founder Cecil Rhodes but on the enormous contributions our scholars have made to the world, and the qualities sought in a Rhodes Scholar intellectual distinction combined with concern for others, energy to lead, and a focus on public service main as compelling as they were over a century ago.

Study Level: Masters, PhD
