Application for the University of Oxford Rhodes Scholarship 2025 will open for interested and eligible candidates willing to study at Oxford University in the United Kingdom in June.
The Rhodes Trust Scholarship is a fully-funded award offering successful candidates a full tuition waiver plus a living stipend of £18,180 per annum during their period of study in the UK.
The University of Oxford Rhodes Scholarship also provides a settling allowance and health insurance. It also covers the costs of a visa and two economy flight tickets to travel to and from the United Kingdom.
Requirements:
To be considered for the Rhodes Scholarship, you must meet the following requirements:
- Nationality/Citizenship: You may only apply to the Rhode Scholarships if you are not eligible to apply via any existing Rhodes constituency. If you have a strong connection to one or more Rhodes constituency but do not meet their eligibility criteria you should also consider inter-jurisdictional consideration rather than the Global Scholarship
- Age: You must meet either of the below criteria:
-
- You must be aged 18-24 on 1st October 2025 (i.e. you must have been born after 1 October 1999 and before 2 October 2006). OR for medical, dental, pharmaceutical, law and engineering students, to allow you to complete your professional internship.
- You must be aged 18-25 on 1st October 2025 (i.e. you must have been born after 1 October 1998 and before 2 October 2006). OR for older candidates who completed their first undergraduate degree later than usual.
- You must be under the age of 27 on 1st October 2025 (i.e. have been born after 1 October 1998) AND you must also have completed your first undergraduate degree on or after 1 October 2024.
3. Academic achievement: You must have already completed an undergraduate degree (normally a Bachelor’s degree).
- Given the very intense international competition for places at the University of Oxford, candidates will have a greater chance of successful admission to Oxford if they have a First Class Honours Degree or equivalent.
4. English language: You must have a sufficiently high standard of English to meet the English language proficiency requirements (at the Higher Level listed) of the University of Oxford.
- You do not need to meet the English language requirement if English is your first language and you are a citizen of and have been primarily resident in a majority English-speaking country.
Duration and Reward
- The Rhodes Trust Scholarship covers all University and College fees, a living stipend £19,092 per annum (£1,591 per month); settling in allowance, health insurance, visa, two economy class flights – to and from the UK – for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford.
- The basic tenure of the scholarship is two years, subject always, and at all times, to satisfactory academic performance and personal conduct.
