Details of the scholarship:

Rhodes Scholarships are given to young people who show promise of becoming value-driven, principled leaders for the future of the world. They must be motivated to take on global problems, committed to helping others, and have a high IQ and good character.

Along with the Oxford-Morland-West Africa Graduate Scholarship, there are two Rhodes Scholarships available each year for West Africa. This includes Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra Leone, So Tomé and Principe, and Togo.

Nationality: You must be a member of one of the following countries:

Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra Leone, So Tomé and Principe, and Togo.

Education and residency: You have to have lived in one or more of the above countries for at least five of the last ten years.

Education and residency: You have to have lived in one or more of the above countries for at least five of the last ten years.

Academic achievement: You must have already finished or will have finished by July 2023 an undergraduate degree (usually a Bachelor's degree) with an academic background and grade that at least meets or exceeds the entry requirements for your chosen full-time course at the University of Oxford.

Because there is a lot of competition from around the world for spots at the University of Oxford, applicants will have a better chance of getting in if they have a First Class Honours Degree or the equivalent, or a GPA of 3.70 or higher out of 4.0.

d. English language: You must have a good enough level of English to meet the University of Oxford's English language proficiency requirements (at the Higher Level).

If you don't get the Rhodes Scholarship the first time you apply, you can try again only once (and in the same constituency), as long as you still meet the criteria.

How long a scholarship last and what do you get out of it

A Rhodes Scholarship pays for all University and College costs, a living stipend (£17,310 per year in 2021-22), a settling-in allowance, health insurance, a visa, and two economy-class flights to and from the UK for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford.

The scholarship usually lasts for two years, but that depends on how well the student does in school and how well they act in general.
