About this Fellowship
The oldest and most celebrated international fellowship award in the world, which enables students to study for two years at Oxford University. Each year 32 Americans are chosen for their outstanding scholarly achievements, as well as their character, commitment to others and to the common good, and for their potential for leadership in whatever domains their careers may lead.
Candidates are selected based upon the criteria established with the first class of Rhodes Scholars in 1902:
Literary and scholastic attainments (academic excellence).
Energy to use one's talents to the full (as demonstrated by mastery in areas such as sports, music, debate, dance, theatre, and artistic pursuits, particularly 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 one's fellow beings.
Candidates must be nominated by the USC committee. Interested students should be in touch with NFSP during their junior year for guidance and planning. Entry into the campus competition ideally begins in early April.
Non-US citizens may be eligible for other Rhodes constituencies. Please see the Rhodes website for more information.
Disability Resources
Many recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship live with visible and invisible disabilities. The Rhodes Disability Project is a collective of scholars and allies who help Rhodes scholars access support and resources at Oxford University. The scholarship criterion of "energy to use one's talents to the full", while interpreted as athletic ability in the early days of the scholarship, is defined broadly to encompass a wide variety of extracurricular pursuits. Applicants who disclose a disability and/or request additional support at interview stage may be contacted by the National Secretary to confirm arrangements or offer alternatives during the selection process. If selected, disability information will be shared with the student support team for support while at Oxford.
For general information on studying abroad with a disability, visit the Mobility International USA (MIUSA) website.
