The Rhodes Scholarship for Hong Kong

Welcome to the information pages about the Rhodes Scholarship for Hong Kong.

Each year, there is one Scholarship available in Hong Kong to enable an outstanding student - chosen on the basis of exceptional intellect, character, leadership, and commitment to service - to study at the University of Oxford.

Rhodes Scholars from Hong Kong have pursued a variety of careers in public service, academia, business, law, and medicine, amongst others. 

Selection of the Rhodes Scholarship for Hong Kong is by a selection committee drawn from diverse professional and academic backgrounds, including from a number of different universities.

Applications for the Rhodes Scholarship for 2013 will open in mid-2012. Applications for 2012 have now closed, and the Rhodes class of 2012 has been elected.

Prospective applicants from Hong Kong should carefully review:

1. the general information about the Rhodes Scholarships,
2. the selection criteria that apply in all Rhodes constituencies, and then
3. the application criteria and procedures specific to Hong Kong.

There are also FAQs which are applicable to all applicants. You may also wish to read short biographies of the Rhodes class of 2011, and watch video interviews with diverse Rhodes alumni.

If you are a referee, please review our guidance notes for referees.
