Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarships
Rhodes Scholars are elected for two years of study at the University of Oxford, with the possibility of renewal for a third year. All educational costs, such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory and certain other fees, are paid on the Scholar’s behalf by the Rhodes Trustees. Each Scholar receives in addition a maintenance allowance adequate to meet necessary expenses for term-time and vacations. The Rhodes Trustees cover the necessary costs of travel to and from Oxford, and upon application, may approve additional grants for research purposes or study-related travel.
To apply, you can use the official application form which can be downloaded in PDF format below. You may also get a hard copy from your University Representative, or from the Office of the American Secretary if your college or university does not have a representative. APPLICATIONS CHANGE YEAR TO YEAR AS DO STATE SECRETARIES AND THEIR ADDRESSES, SO BE CERTAIN TO USE AN APPLICATION FORM FOR THE CURRENT ELECTION YEAR. New forms are posted on this web site every July for the following October deadline and are usually available from University Representatives in August.
