Offered by The Rhodes
This cycle has closed. The date shown is the last one we captured. Most of these schemes reopen at roughly the same point each year, so this page is still worth bookmarking — but check the official link before planning around it.
The Rhodes Scholarships for India funds Indians to study any subject at the University of Oxford. Six scholarships are offered each year to outstanding Indian graduates who show academic excellence and leadership potential. Since 1947, over 200 Indians have become Rhodes Scholars, joining a global network of leaders.
The scholarship covers full tuition and living expenses at Oxford, enabling scholars to focus fully on their studies and personal growth.
Applicants must be Indian citizens who have completed a bachelor's degree from a recognized Indian university. They should be between 19 and 25 years old on 1 October in the year of application. A strong academic record and demonstrated leadership potential are required.
There are no income or mark thresholds specified; selection is based on merit and character.
Apply online through the Rhodes House application portal. Prepare academic transcripts, a curriculum vitae, a personal statement, and four letters of recommendation. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a preliminary interview, followed by a final interview in India.
The official application deadline is listed on the Rhodes Scholarships India page.
