Great News! For Indian students, the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship is available for Indian students pursuing education in Oxford University.
Ever heard of the Rhodes Scholarship? It’s one of the most prestigious and oldest graduate fellowships in the world. The fellowship dates from 1903, and it has opened the doors for brilliant minds to study in the top university in the world.
Indian students dreaming about foreign degrees will very soon realize their dream. Rhodes Scholarship Trust will make it possible to study in University of Oxford starting from 2028. Moreover, the University of Oxford is planning to increase the number of Indian students who will take advantage of the scholarships.
Reason for Indian Students Getting the Scholarships
The most important reason is the enormous talent pool in India. The size of India, moreover, the population, and also the talent in the country that is not given any chances. According to Sir Richard Trainor, the CEO of the Rhodes Trust, deserving Indian students who missed the opportunity due to limited chance or financial constraints will now be able to avail the scholarships.
The CEO Sir Richard Trainor wants to ensure that deserving candidates should get a chance to receive education in this prestigious Oxford University.
Studying in Oxford University is a dream come true for every Indian student. This amendment could be a game changer for meritorious Indian students thinking of studying abroad.
Not Enough Scholarships for Indian Students
Indian Students are massively underrepresented when it comes to providing scholarships. Currently, there are six Rhodes Scholarships a year for Indian students. Imagine 1.4 billion people and only six scholarships.
That’s exactly what the Rhodes Trust is looking to fix. Increasing the number of scholarships would eventually bring out more talent, with an intention to pursue higher education in Oxford University. Indian students are high on the list and they deserve scholarships, in fact, more meritorious Indian Students will receive scholarships. More spots, more dreams fulfilled, and a bigger impact on the global stage. Now that’s a step in the right direction.
Here’s something most people don’t realize: offering a Rhodes Scholarship isn’t just about selecting bright students and handing them an acceptance letter. It’s a big financial commitment. That’s why the Rhodes Trust is now working hard to raise more funds—to support even more scholarships in the future.
Why? Because each scholarship covers not only the tuition fees at the University of Oxford (which, as you can imagine, aren’t small!) but also the living expenses of scholars while they’re studying there. And all of that comes from the Trust’s endowment—a special fund that needs to stay strong and sustainable.
So, to create more opportunities for deserving students, especially from countries like India, the Trust is actively raising money. The goal is simple: make sure that financial limitations never get in the way of talent, ambition, and the chance to study at one of the best universities in the world.
It’s not just about giving scholarships—it’s about building futures.
