Complete scholarship details
The Rhodes Scholarship is a fully funded, full-time postgraduate award for study at the University of Oxford. Current Rhodes Trust funding guidance states that it covers Oxford course fees and an annual stipend; after selection it also covers the Oxford application fee, student visa and Immigration Health Surcharge, two economy flights to and from the UK, and a settling-in allowance. The exact duration and course combinations are governed by the current Conditions of Tenure.
Eligibility requirements
Rhodes Scholarships are place-based. Applicants must satisfy the current United States constituency eligibility, academic, age/residency or citizenship rules and application requirements in the official Information for Candidates and eligibility checker.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
