What is a Rhodes constituency? A constituency is a country, a group of countries, and/or territories, regions or states, grouped together for the purposes of administering scholarships.
If you only have a connection to one Rhodes constituency and you meet the eligibility criteria below, you can apply to the Rhodes Scholarship for that constituency following the process outlined in this document.
If you have connections to more than one Rhodes constituency and meet the eligibility criteria for more than one constituency, you should apply to the one that you have the greatest connection to. Once you have chosen your constituency you should read the Information for Candidates and then apply as usual.
If you have strong and demonstrable connections to two or more Rhodes Constituencies but do not meet all of the eligibility criteria for any of them, you may be eligible to apply for interjurisdictional consideration. Please visit the ‘Applying for Inter-Jurisdictional Consideration’ page for more details about this as you will need to follow a slightly different process. Please note that while some eligibility criteria are waived for inter-jurisdictional candidates, this does not include the age or academic achievement criteria.
If you cannot see your country or region listed in the list of Rhodes constituencies (see list here) and you are not eligible to apply for inter-jurisdictional consideration, you may be able to apply for a Global Scholarship. Please visit our website to check if you meet the Global eligibility criteria.
