Students aged 19-27 from Israel are now eligible to apply. "Rhodes House sets up a lot of events – specifically it tries to connect people from the Rhodes Community so you won't be alone in here, and also you will have interesting and diverse conversations. It is always very exciting as people here are very interesting, it’s a nice environment to get to know people. The Rhodes Scholarship is such a unique opportunity." Yotam Vaknin, Israel & University 2018 The Rhodes ScholarshipThe Rhodes Scholarship is the world’s preeminent and oldest graduate fellowship, based at the University of Oxford since 1903. Administered by the Rhodes Trust in Oxford, the programme awards 101 fully funded Scholarships each year to students from anywhere in the world with proven academic excellence who also show exceptional character, leadership, achievement in extra-curricular activities and a commitment to solving humanity’s challenges. The Scholarship is not just a financial bursary, it is a life-changing opportunity for exceptional young people with the potential to make a difference for good in the world. Rhodes Scholars are people who have a vision of how the world could be better and the energy to make a difference – whatever their sphere of interest. Nearly 8,000 Rhodes Scholars have gone on to serve at the forefront of government, education, the arts, NGOs, commerce, research and other sectors. They are well known advocates for expanded social justice, and have advanced the frontiers of science The strong network of Rhodes Scholars is proof of the lifelong fellowship with ongoing opportunities to connect with current and Senior Scholars and, beyond that, a warm and engaging community within Scholars typically turns into enduring friendships. Whilst at Oxford, Scholars will be supported to develop their leadership skills through series of workshops, such as the Rhodes Character, Service and Leadership programme, which encourages Scholars towards a lifelong commitment to lead and serve others with practical skills and tools to craft a life of risk-taking, impact and passion.
