Oxford University The Rhodes Scholarship for Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine

The Rhodes Scholarships for Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine (SJLP) are Rhodes Scholarships in partnership with the Saïd Foundation for Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine. The Rhodes Scholarship is described as enabling “outstanding young people” to undertake full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford, and the page directs applicants to learn about “costs covered” and “what makes it special.”

The SJLP page states that two Rhodes Scholarships are available each year for Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese, and Palestinian candidates, with one scholarship available only to Syrian candidates. The page also states that the Rhodes Scholarships are place-based, so eligibility criteria, application requirements, and selection process vary slightly by constituency, and applicants should read the Information for Candidates and Conditions of Tenure.

Selection takes place in each constituency and is overseen by the relevant National Secretary and their team. The page points applicants to the selection criteria and advises checking that the proposed course of study is covered by the Rhodes Scholarship under the Conditions of Tenure, and to share the Guidance for Referees with their referees.

It also does not list the costs covered in this SJLP application page, beyond indicating that such information is available under “The Rhodes Scholarship” and related materials.
