After the death of Cecil John Rhodes, the Rhodes scholarship program began operation. Since 1902, these scholarships have been awarded annually by the Rhodes Trust based in Oxford, England.
The qualifications for a Rhodes scholar include academic performance as well as character. The scholarship pays the scholar's education expenses for two or three years at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
In 1902, when Rhodes died, his fortune was donated to help those who are capable of finishing college but do not have enough money to finance a college education. The scholarship is awarded to applicants who qualify because of their impressive intellectual capacity, outstanding character, and energetic physical abilities.
