When reading someone’s resume, you’ll often notice when they’ve written that they were a Rhodes Scholar. But what does this mean? The Rhodes Scholarship was started in 1902 by the estate of Cecil Rhodes. As the oldest international educational fellowship in the world, it is certainly a prestigious accomplishment to count yourself as part of this group.
Each year, 32 American students join another 50 or so from around the world to study at Oxford University. They enjoy an all-expense pain scholarship to live and study at this prestigious location. The list of Rhodes Scholarships is quite long, and exceptionally varied. It includes everything from Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to CUSAP founder Hamed Wardak.
