I need financial aid. Do I have to figure out what to apply for by myself?
We will guide you through the process of applying for financial aid. Our financial aid packages typically consist of a combination of fellowships or scholarships, grants, student loans and student employment. You simply apply for aid and we will do our best to fulfill your demonstrated need.
I’ve heard of scholarships, but what are fellowships?
At Rhodes, we’ve taken traditional scholarships a step farther by asking students to invest in themselves through professional internships, community service, research or other opportunities as part of a fellowship. In addition to funding, you’ll receive real-world experience that will put your education into action and build a resume.
