Welcome!

The Rhodes Scholarships are postgraduate awards supporting exceptional all-round students from diverse countries to study at the University of Oxford. Established in the will of Cecil Rhodes, the Rhodes is the oldest and perhaps the most prestigious international scholarship program in the world. 

The Rhodes Scholarships aim to nurture leaders for the world's future who are committed to service, and to promote international understanding and peace.

To watch a video of Nicholas D. Kristof and the Warden of Rhodes House, Dr Donald Markwell, discussing the Rhodes Scholarships, visit the 'About the Rhodes Scholarships' page.

Some of the thousands of other Rhodes alumni whose lives have been transformed by this Scholarship, and who are 'fighting the world's fight' around the world, discuss the Scholarship here.

Rhodes House, Oxford, is the home of the Rhodes Scholarships and the Rhodes Trust (an educational charity whose principal activity is to administer and fund the Rhodes Scholarships). The beautiful gardens and principal rooms of Rhodes House are available for private functions.

Thank you for your interest in the Rhodes Scholarships and Rhodes House.
