The Rhodes Postgraduate Scholarships for Global 2021

Rhodes House is offering Postgraduate Scholarships for Global. The Rhodes Scholarship program is the oldest (established in 1903), and perhaps the most prestigious and international scholarship program in the world. Administered by the Rhodes Trust in Oxford, the program covers more than 100 fully-funded scholarships each year for postgraduate study for young leaders of outstanding intellect and character who are motivated to engage with global challenges, commit to the service of others and show promise of becoming value-driven principled leaders in the future. 

The scholarship covers all university fees, as well as the application fee and a personal stipend. In addition to that, it offers one economy class airfare to Oxford at the start of the scholarship and one economy flight back to the student’s home country at the end of the scholarship.
