Cecil Rhodes' will created a scholarship trust for students, primarily from former English colonies, to study at Oxford University. Over 7,000 scholars have been selected since the trust was established in 1902.
Rhodes directed that the selection of scholars should be based on academic ability; sporting activity; qualities of personal rectitude, strength and compassion; and sense of the public good. The Trust continues to respect the spirit of these definitions, as identified within a contemporary context.
