Please see the Rhodes Foundation website for further information. See also a timeline and resources specific to Canadian applicants. The Rhodes Trust, founded by Cecil John Rhodes (1853-1902), is based at the University of Oxford and aims to build a better world through global fellowship programs that develop and connect compassionate, innovative, and public-spirited people committed to solving humanity’s challenges. Rhodes, a committed British colonialist, obtained his fortune through the exploitation of minerals, land, and peoples of southern Africa. Some of his activities led to the great loss of life and attracted criticism in his day and ever since. The Trust acknowledges that racism has played a significant role in the history of the Rhodes Scholarships. Following the 2015 Rhodes Must Fall movement, the Trust has committed to take significant steps toward becoming a more diverse and inclusive community and to create space in Rhodes House for Scholars to debate and engage with legacy.
