Our program is one of the largest per capita in the nation.

Every year, nearly half of our entering students receive four-year competitive fellowships, scholarships and awards. The entering Class of 2013 was awarded 238 competitive scholarships valued at $2,922,678.

I’ve heard of scholarships, but what are fellowships?

Fellowships take scholarships a step further by providing students with not only financial support, but also the chance to participate in important study, research, creative work and service with like-minded peers. In addition to funding, you’ll put academics into action, build your resume and be part of a learning community.

What are the scholarships and fellowships I may be eligible for?

They include:

• Bellingrath Scholarship (3): Full tuition, fees, room, board
• Morse Scholarship (5): $34,000/year
• Cambridge Scholarship (15): $26,000/year
• University Scholarship (35): $17,000/year
• Ralph C. Hon Scholarship (15): $17,000/year
• Dean’s Scholarship (10): $17,000-$26,000/year for students of color
• Fine Arts Fellowship (8): $13,000/year
• CODA Fine Arts Fellowship (4): $13,000/year
• Bonner Scholarship (15): $12,500/year in addition to any other Rhodes aid
• Taylor Fellowship in Physics (1): Up to $15,000/year in addition to any other Rhodes aid
• Spencer Scholarship in Greek and Roman Studies (1-3): $2,000-$3,000/year in addition to any other Rhodes aid
• Presidential Scholarship (50): $13,000/year
• Rhodes Award (50): $6,000-$11,000/year

And other awards are available from organizations and in specific areas of study.

Are the scholarships awarded for one year or longer?

All are renewable each year for a maximum of three renewals. If your demonstrated financial need (based on results of the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE) is greater than the award amount, you may receive additional assistance in the form of grants, loans or work-study.

If I can’t afford the cost of Rhodes, are there other forms of financial aid that can help?

Yes—you may apply for aid based on your family’s financial circumstances. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS PROFILE online and have the results sent to Rhodes. 

• FAFSA (Rhodes Title IV code: 003519)
• CSS PROFILE (Rhodes code: 1730)
