Any institution may nominate up to three young people who fulfil the eligibility criteria for the Global Rhodes Scholarship.
Please note that applicants must meet the entry requirements of the University of Oxford, i.e. they must be academically excellent.
Proven intellectual and academic quality of a high standard is the first quality required of applicants and is very high. It is unlikely that an applicant will be successful unless they are sufficiently able academically to also be admitted to an internationally recognized selective graduate school, and a GPA of 3.7 / 4.0 - or higher - is considered a baseline for Oxford admission.
Intellectual excellence is obviously required, but not in isolation from the other Rhodes Selection Criteria. An academically brilliant candidate who does not display exceptional character, service and leadership is highly unlikely to be successful.
Please read the guidance for nominating institutions, linked below, for detailed information about nominating a candidate for the Global Rhodes Scholarship:
Please take note of the deadline for endorsing candidates for the Global Rhodes Scholarships, also bearing in mind the different deadline for US and Canada endorsements if organizing internal institution processes.
