The Rhodes Scholarship, established in 1902, is the oldest and one of the most prestigious international scholarship programs in the world. Administered by the Rhodes Trust in Oxford, the program offers over 100 fully-funded scholarships each year for full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Rhodes 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 who show promise of becoming value-driven, principled leaders for the world’s future.
Selection of successful candidates is based on the criteria set out by the Rhodes Trust:
- Academic excellence
- Energy to use your talents to the full (as demonstrated by mastery in areas such as sports, music, debate, dance, theatre and artistic pursuits, including where teamwork is involved).
- Truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship.
- Moral force of character and instincts to lead and to take an interest in your fellow human beings.
Graduating students interested in applying for the Rhodes Scholarship are encouraged to review the resources available on the Rhodes Scholarship website.
Applications for the next round of scholarships open in June 2024. Candidates must submit an internal application to Carleton to be considered for university endorsement. Information about upcoming webinars, scholarship eligibility criteria and Carleton’s internal application process will be posted on the Carleton Graduate Students website once available.
