The Scholarship provides all expenses for two or three years of study at the University of Oxford and may allow funding in some instances for four years.

Studying at the University of Oxford will give the chosen Scholars access to world-class academicians in their field as well as a 7000 strong Rhodes alumni network, many of whom are well known advocates for expanded social justice and have advanced the frontiers of science and medicine.
