The Rhodes Scholarship is very prominent, providing postgraduate funding to impressive students from Australia who attend the University of Oxford. Applications for the intake in 2026 will be accepted from 2 June 2025 until 12 August 2025 (23:59 AEST).
Anyone applying for the Award should be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, should not exceed 25 years old (as of 1 October 2025) and have achieved an excellent academic record in an undergraduate course. These students are chosen based on being outstanding academically, having future leadership skills, wanting to serve and using their abilities completely.
You should reach out to your university’s Rhodes Advisor or your State/Territory Honorary Secretary early to start preparing for the process. All applicants are asked to provide their academic records, a statement about themselves, a list of referees and come in line with Oxford’s admission standards.
You can now be part of a worldwide community of influencers and explore higher education specializing in politics, science, health, literature, law and philosophy.
