Rhodes Global Scholarships at the University of Oxford in UK 2024

Rhodes Global Scholarships are for young leaders of outstanding intellect and character who are motivated to engage with global challenges, committed to the service of others and show promise of becoming value-driven, principled leaders for the world’s future.

Eligibility Criteria For Rhodes Global Scholarships

1. Nationality/citizenship: Eligibility to any other Rhodes Scholarship renders you ineligible to apply for a Global
   Scholarship, i.e. if you are eligible to apply via any existing Rhodes Constituency
   (https://www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk/scholarships/list-of-rhodes-scholarship-countries/), you must apply there.
   Please also see the information below and online regarding inter-jurisdictional consideration – it may be in
   your interest to pursue that route rather than to apply for a Global Scholarship, which will likely be the most
   competitive Scholarships offered by the Rhodes Trust.
2. Age: Upon 1 October, you must meet either of the below criteria:
   i. You must be at least 18 and have not reached your 24th birthday (i.e. you must have been born after 1 October 1997 and on or before 1 October 2003).
   OR (for older candidates who completed their first undergraduate degree later than usual)
   ii. You must have not reached your 27th birthday (i.e. have been born after 1 October 1994) AND you have met or will meet the requirements for completion of your first degree on or after 1 October 2020* A university’s policy determines the date a degree is considered awarded. In ambiguous cases, the decision of the National Secretary is final.
3. Academic achievement: You must have completed (or will have completed by June / July 2024) an undergraduate degree with a First Class or minimum GPA minimum of 3.70 out of 4.0 (or equivalent). Please note carefully the requirements for your chosen course at Oxford, which may be higher still. Successful candidates typically feature within the top few ranks of their graduating classes.
4. English language: You must have a sufficiently high standard of English to meet the English language proficiency requirements (at the Higher Level listed) of the University of Oxford.
5. If unsuccessful in your first application to the Rhodes Scholarships, you may subsequently re-apply only once more (and this must be in the same constituency), subject to meeting the eligibility criteria.
