As we push forward through this pandemic, you may be finding it difficult to make long-term plans. Facing so many unknowns, one-day-at-a-time often seems like the best approach. However, brighter days and new opportunities still await us, even if they seem small on the horizon right now. To that end, there鈥檚 something I want to put on your radar: the 2021 Rhodes Scholarship.
You have probably heard about the Rhodes Scholarship鈥攊t鈥檚 one of the oldest and most prestigious postgraduate awards in the world. Each year, approximately 100 exceptional young people are selected to complete fully funded studies at the University of Oxford. These recipients demonstrate outstanding intellect, motivation to engage with global challenges, and commitment to the service of others. They are, in other words, future leaders.
Since the program began in 1902, nearly 150 不良研究所ians have joined the distinguished ranks of Rhodes Scholars. If you think you could be next, now is the time to start preparing! Applications for Fall 2021 will open this June, and I encourage you to consider applying. You can learn more about the process听, and read interviews with former Rhodes Scholars from our community听. My office is also available to support 不良研究所 students through the application process 鈥� be sure to check our website for updates on virtual information sessions in the spring and summer. Bon courage!
