The
Rhodes Scholarships India 2010
General Regulations
A Rhodes Scholarship is tenable at the University of Oxford. Confirmation of the Scholarship at election is however, subject to the Scholar-elect's acceptance by a college and by the concerned faculty in case of a research degree. 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 Trustees, for a third and final year for those who
were initially admitted to Oxford to pursue a doctoral degree
A Rhodes Scholarship covers approved university and college fees and other charges for which payment is made directly to the Scholar's college. It also covers living expenses sufficient to enable a Scholar to meet the necessary expenses for term-time and vacations. The Trust will also meet the cost of a Scholar's air travel, economy class, to the United Kingdom and of
return to India on completion of studies at Oxford.
The Scholarship for which application
is to made in 2009 will be tenable from October 2010.
Conditions of Eligibility
-
The Scholarships are open to
citizens of India.

age that they will have passed their 19th and not
have passed their 25th birthday on the 1st
October 2010.

should consult the Secretary, as well as the Medical
School Offices at Oxford, before submitting an application.
Particular difficulties may arise for those wishing

Marriage is not a bar to applying
for, or holding, a Rhodes scholarship. However,
married candidates should bear in mind that the

for the support of a scholar’s spouse. Moreover,
spouses who are not British citizens will find it
very difficult to obtain permission to undertake
paid work in England.

Rhodes Trustees, the Committee of Selection for
India is responsible for deciding whether candidates
comply with forgoing conditions, and for making
the nominations.
