The Rhodes Scholarships

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Description:

The Rhodes Scholarships are very generous, paying for tuition, room and board, books, living expenses, and an allowance, for two full years of graduate study at Oxford University. Winners are selected on the basis of intellectual ability, physical ability, moral character, and leadership potential. While many Rhodes Scholars have been college athletes, that level of athletic skill is not an absolute requirement-only that you be in excellent physical shape and have demonstrated some success at a sport.

The competition for Rhodes Scholarships is fierce, and the standards are very selective. Only around 30 scholarships are awarded to American each year. But the rewards are high, and being known as a Rhodes Scholar for the rest of your life is an extremely rare honor. If you’re an excellent student with good character, athletic talent, and leadership ability, and you’re interested in doing post graduate study at Oxford University, you should certainly consider applying for a Rhodes Scholarship
