Oxford University UK Rhodes Scholarships

The Rhodes Scholarship is described by the Rhodes Trust as an international scholarship programme that enables outstanding young people from around the world to undertake full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford, with the page noting it covers the costs of study as part of the programme information.

For China, the Rhodes Trust states that it is offered in conjunction with the Oxford-Schwarzman-China Graduate Scholarship and that there are four Rhodes Scholarships available to mainland Chinese citizens each year. The page also says eligibility, application requirements, and selection process vary slightly by constituency.

Selection takes place in each constituency and is overseen by the relevant National Secretary and their team. The page directs applicants to the Information for Candidates (China) and the selection criteria materials to guide the application, including the Conditions of Tenure and Guidance for Referees for China.

The page provides links to documents about course coverage and tenure, including Conditions of Tenure and Guidance for Referees, and notes that applicants should check that their proposed course of study is covered by the Rhodes Scholarship.
