The Rhodes Scholarship is an international postgraduate award for students to study at the University of Oxford.[1] It was established in 1902 making it the first large-scale program of international scholarship. The scholarship was founded by English businessman and politician Cecil John Rhodes, to promote unity between English speaking nations and instill a sense of civic-minded leadership and moral fortitude in future leaders irrespective of their chosen career paths. Although initially restricted to male applicants from Great Britain, her empire and her former colonies as well as Germany and the United States of America; today the scholarship is open to applicants from all backgrounds.[2] Former recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship include Australian prime minister Tony Abbot and former American president Bill Clinton.
