Ever dreamed of studying at the University of Oxford and making a global impact? The prestigious Rhodes Scholarship could be your pathway to turning that dream into reality.

The Rhodes Scholarships are postgraduate awards supporting outstanding all-round students at the University of Oxford – one of the world’s leading universities.

The Scholarships provide transformative opportunities for exceptional individuals, encouraging them to ‘fight the world’s fight’ throughout their lives, and aiming to contribute to international understanding. Established in 1903 under the will of Cecil Rhodes, the Rhodes is the oldest and perhaps the most prestigious international graduate scholarship program in the world.

Of the 9 scholarships available each year in Australia, each state offers one scholarship that is awarded by a selection committee of seven members based in the state. In addition, there are 3 Australia-at-large scholarships awarded to a selection committee based in Canberra.

The Scholarship will provide the following support:

  • University of Oxford course fees.
  • An annual stipend of £19,800 (£1,650 per month).
  • The fee required to apply to study at the University of Oxford.
  • Fees for a student visa and associated International Health Surcharge (IHS), which enables international students to access the UK’s National Health Service.
  • Two economy class flights to and from the UK, for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford.

Applications open: 2 June 2025

Applications close: 12 August 2025
