104 Rhodes Scholarship Winners Announced for 2025 at Oxford
The Rhodes Trust has officially announced the Rhodes Scholar Class of 2025, celebrating the achievements of 104 outstanding individuals from 29 nationalities who will commence their studies at the University of Oxford in October. This year’s cohort marks a significant milestone with the first-ever Scholars hailing from St. Lucia and Haiti, underscoring the global reach and inclusivity of the scholarship program.
Spanning 73 universities across 25 countries, these Scholars have been selected for their exceptional academic excellence, leadership qualities, and commitment to addressing humanity’s most pressing challenges. They are set to pursue graduate studies across a wide range of disciplines at Oxford, continuing the legacy of the world’s oldest and most prestigious graduate fellowship.
A Rigorous Selection Process Selected 104 Applicants!
The Rhodes Scholarship maintains its reputation for excellence through a meticulous application and interview process. Finalists are assessed by a distinguished selection committee comprising leaders and experts from diverse fields. The selection process is further strengthened by the dedicated efforts of National Secretaries, screeners, and selectors, all of whom contribute significantly to upholding the scholarship’s integrity.
Sir Rick Trainor, CEO of The Rhodes Trust, shared his reflections on the announcement:
“For more than a century, The Rhodes Trust has brought exceptional individuals to Oxford and fostered a vibrant global community. We eagerly anticipate the invaluable contributions these Scholars will make, not just during their studies, but throughout their lives, as they join the community of Rhodes Scholar alumni who have positive impact around the world.”
A Look Ahead!
As these 104 Scholars prepare to embark on their journey at Oxford, applications for the 2026 Rhodes Scholarships are set to open in June 2025, providing the next generation of leaders an opportunity to join this illustrious program.
