Standing up for the world with a Rhodes Scholarship

Cecil Rhodes created the Rhodes Scholarship in 1903, with a view to seeing his scholars "esteem the performance of public duties as their highest aim".

One of the oldest international scholarship programs, it took more than a century to come to China. Since 2015, the Rhodes Scholarship has selected 12 Chinese students to study at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.

Charles Conn, CEO of the Rhodes Trust, visited China between March 19 and 23, looking to attract new applicants from cities and regions around the country.
