The Rhodes Scholarship 2027 is now open for eligible applicants who want to pursue full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford. The scholarship is fully funded and supports outstanding young people with strong academic ability, leadership potential, service, character and commitment to making a positive impact.
According to Rhodes House, the scholarship covers University of Oxford course fees and provides an annual stipend. For the 2025–26 academic year, the stipend is listed as £20,400 per year, equal to £1,700 per month. The Rhodes Trust also states that selected scholars receive support for the Oxford application fee, student visa and Immigration Health Surcharge, two economy-class flights, and a settling-in allowance.
However, this opportunity must be explained carefully. Rhodes applications are constituency-based, meaning the applicant’s country, region or territory determines the eligibility rules, deadline, documents and selection process. Rhodes House says applicants should check their eligibility and constituency before applying.
Applications made in 2026 are for entry to Oxford in October 2027. Rhodes House announced that applications are open globally, while the United States opens on 1 July 2026.

Important Warning
Do not apply blindly.
This scholarship is not one general application for everyone. Your country or region decides your deadline and route. If you apply without checking your constituency, you may follow the wrong instructions or miss the correct deadline.
