The Rhodes Scholarships 2010 for students from Kenya in Oxford University, UK

THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS 2010 KENYA: One of the objects of Mr. Rhodes in establishing these Scholarships was to give future leaders the benefit of a period of study at Oxford University and thereby the opportunity of experiencing all that Oxford offers. The Scholarships are not, therefore, to be seen merely as a way of gaining a graduate degree.

A Rhodes Scholarship is tenable only for full time study at the University of Oxford. After election to a Scholarship, a successful candidate has still to be found a place in the relevant department or faculty of the University as well as a place in an Oxford College. There is no guarantee of a place and the award of a Scholarship is not confirmed by the Rhodes Trustees until a Scholarelect as been accepted by the University and a College for admission.

Election to the Scholarship is normally for two years but the Scholarship may be held for one year only, depending upon the degree programme pursued by the Scholar. The Trustees impose no requirement that a Scholar should study in Oxford for more than one year. A Scholarship may be renewed, at the complete discretion of the Trustees, for a third and final year for those who were initially admitted to Oxford to pursue a doctoral degree.

Application Deadline: 28 th August
