The Rhodes Scholarship covers Oxford University course fees, as well as providing an annual stipend.
For the 2025-26 academic year, the stipend is £20,400 per annum (£1,700 per month) from which Scholars pay all living expenses, including accommodation. Please note: this is not sufficient to cover partners or dependents.
Following selection for the Scholarship, the Rhodes Trust will also cover:
- The fee required to apply to study at the University of Oxford
- Fees for a student visa and associated International Health Surcharge (IHS), which enables international students to access the UK’s National Health Service
- Two economy class flights to and from the UK, for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford.
On arrival in Oxford, Scholars receive a settling in allowance, and Scholars who transition to a second course of study in Oxford will receive assistance to cover the fees for visa renewal and further application for IHS.
Our application process consists of multiple stages, and this video series will guide you through each step with helpful tips and advice from Rhodes Scholars themselves.
Awards:- The basic tenure for the scholarship is two years. Scholars may not apply for a single one-year course, but they may pursue two consecutive one-year courses in this duration. In certain cases, scholars may apply for a third year or more.
Deadline:- Ongoing
