Established in 1903 by the will of Cecil J. Rhodes, this scholarship program seeks to promote international peace and understanding through education. Rhodes Scholars are appointed for two years of study at the University of Oxford in England, with possibility of renewal for a third year. While applications are sought from highly talented students without regard to academic discipline, the student’s desired course of study must be available at Oxford.
