About the scholarship
The Rhodes Scholarship is a prestigious scholarship which provides funds to study at Oxford University, United Kingdom. Rhodes scholars have been, and will be, leaders on the national and international stage. The University of Otago has a long history of Rhodes success; our first Rhodes was awarded in 1904 and since 2000 we have had over ten Rhodes scholars. The successful applicants will be chosen based upon proven intellectual and academic ability and integrity of character, interest in and respect for their fellow human beings, the ability to lead and the energy to use their talents to the full.
