The Rhodes Scholarship is a fully paid scholarship to study at Oxford University. Previously, only students from select countries were eligible to apply (see the list of eligible countries). To give students from all other countries a fair chance, the Rhodes Global Scholarship was created. This scholarship is for students from countries that are not already included in the regular Rhodes program. It enables you to pursue a Master’s, MPhil, or PhD in any subject at Oxford University. This post will explain everything you need to know about the Rhodes Global Scholarship 2026, like who can apply, how to apply, and what the scholarship pays for.
