The Rhodes Scholarships are postgraduate awards supporting exceptional all-round students from diverse countries who come to study at the University of Oxford. Established in the will of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, the Rhodes is the oldest and perhaps the most prestigious international scholarship program in the world. Over 7,000 Rhodes Scholars have gone on to serve at the forefront of government, the professions, commerce, the arts, education, research and other fields. They are well-known advocates for expanded social justice, and have advanced the frontiers of science and medicine.
Rhodes House, Oxford, is the home of the Rhodes Scholarships and the Rhodes Trust. Its beautiful gardens and principal rooms are available for private functions.
The Rhodes Trust, established under the will of Cecil Rhodes, is an educational charity whose principal activity is to support scholars from 14 geographic constituencies to study at the University of Oxford.
