The Rhodes Scholarship is a postgraduate award for study at the University of Oxford. Rhodes Scholars may study any full-time postgraduate course offered by the University, whether a taught Master’s programme or a research degree; or a second undergraduate degree (senior status), over two years. The Canadian Rhodes provides one or two year funding for study at the University of Oxford for students with Canadian citizenry. The Rhodes Scholarship is highly competitive, and only 32 scholarships are given to US students every year. Juniors interested in study during the academic year directly following graduation should apply in their spring semester. Graduating seniors and alumni still must apply by the internal deadline, but the national application applies to the academic year following the final deadline.
