The Rhodes Scholarships for Canada

The first Canadian Rhodes Scholars took up residence in Oxford in 1904, and since that time over a thousand Canadians have been awarded the Scholarship.

The Scholarships in Canada are administered by six regional selection committees as detailed below:

• Three Scholarships to: The Prairie Region (Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta)
• Two Scholarships each to: Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Region (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island)
• One Scholarship each to: British Columbia and Newfoundland & Labrador 

Applicants currently studying in Canada are eligible to apply in a region based on either of the following two criteria:

• The region in which you are ordinarily resident. If you are ordinarily resident in the Yukon, Northwest Territories or Nunavut, you may apply in the Prairies Region.
• The region in which you attended a university that has granted or will be granting you a degree. Exception: applicants who have attended or are attending a university in Newfoundland & Labrador must also be resident in that region.

Applicants currently studying outside Canada should apply in the region in which they are normally resident.

Progress comes when we think differently

Progress requires thinking differently and taking action. That means embracing different ideas, skills, mindsets and cultures. And creating better ways to lead. When people come together in this shared spirit, exciting things happen. That’s the power of the unlikeminded.

Alongside visionary partners around the world, we’re proud to be a global family of programmes, reaching every age group from teenagers to experienced professionals. Each creates its own dynamic global community – people who make a difference. Together we’re a partnership of equals, achieving more through collaboration.

What is the Rhodes Scholarship?
