Hear from some of our scholars
“The Fulbright scholarship journey has been amazing so far. I loved meeting the next wave of Fulbright scholars at the Fulbright Gala and Orientation. Talking with these driven and passionate young people was inspiring.”
Caleb Adams
2025 Fulbright Scholar
“The application process for the Rhodes Scholarship involves submitting a personal statement outlining who you are, your passions and why you’d like to study at the University of Oxford. You also have to submit referee statements – three academic and two personal – plus a CV. Then there’s an interview process which is really worthwhile as there is a lot of self-reflection.”
Natasha Lutz
2020 Rhodes Scholar
