Applications are now open for students to apply for The RHODES SCHOLARSHIP FOR INDIA 2023.

ABOUT

The Rhodes Scholarships, established in 1903, are the oldest international scholarship programme in the world, and one of the most prestigious. Administered by the Rhodes Trust in Oxford, the programme offers over 100 fully-funded Scholarships each year for full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom – one of the world’s leading universities. 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 show promise of becoming value-driven, principled leaders for the world’s future.

ELIGIBILITY

  1. Nationality/citizenship: You must be a citizen of India, holding an Indian passport, or equivalent proof of citizenship.

  2. Education/residency: You must have undertaken formal study at an educational institution in India for a minimum of 4 of the last 10 years, and have either: (i) completed a school leaving exam (10th or 12th standard or equivalent) at a school in India (ii) or be in the final year of, or have completed an undergraduate degree at a university in India.
  3. Age: You must meet either of the below criteria:
  • On 1 October 2022, you must be at least 18 and have not reached your 24th birthday (i.e. you must have been born after 1 October 1998 and on or before 1 October 2004).
  • On 1 October 2022, you must not have reached your 27th birthday (i.e. have been born after 1 October 1995) AND you have met or will meet the academic requirements for completing your first undergraduate degree on or after 1 October 2021.

4. Academic achievement: You must have already completed, or will have completed by July 2023, an undergraduate degree (normally a Bachelor’s degree) with an academic background and grade that – at a minimum – meets or exceeds the specific entry requirements of your chosen full-time course at the University of Oxford (https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/courses-a-z-listing). 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
Please contact the National Secretary if you require further advice about the academic requirements of the Scholarship.

5. Please note: only one of the five available Scholarships (and, in exceptional cases, two) may be awarded in the aggregate to (i) candidates who are pursuing, or have pursued, their undergraduate studies at a university located outside India and (ii) inter-jurisdictional Candidates.

6. If unsuccessful in your first application to the Rhodes Scholarships, you may subsequently re-apply only once more (and this must be in the same constituency), subject to meeting the eligibility criteria.
