The Rhodes Scholarship, named after Cecil Rhodes, is an international postgraduate award for study at the University of Oxford, and was the first large-scale programme of international scholarships. Rhodes Scholars may study any full-time postgraduate course offered by the University, whether a taught Master’s programme, a research degree, or a second undergraduate degree (senior status).
In the first instance, the scholarship is awarded for two years. However, it may also be held for one year or three years. Applications for a third year are considered during the course of the second year.
University and College fees are paid by the Rhodes Trust. In addition, Scholars receive a monthly maintenance stipend to cover accommodation and living expenses. Although all scholars become affiliated with a residential college while at Oxford, they also enjoy access to Rhodes House, an early 20th century mansion with numerous public rooms, gardens, a library, study areas, and other facilities.
“For more than a century, Rhodes scholars have left Oxford with virtually any job available to them. For much of this time, they have overwhelmingly chosen paths in scholarship, teaching, writing, medicine, scientific research, law, the military and public service. They have reached the highest levels in virtually all fields.”

Most students see college as a one way ticket to achieving better careers; hence, to them, college is a very important stage in their lives as well as being an important investment. Unfortunately, the demands which students are facing with their education have gotten quite difficult lately. From rising costs of commodities to expensive college tuition fees, most students are beginning to see a bleak future in college; but don’t give up unless you have tried other possibilities of raising enough money for your college education. If you believed you’ve tried everything, below are 5 more options for you to venture in: 1. Joining the army. Not everyone was built for the army but if you are part of the lucky few who were blessed with the right body and stamina for the army’s demanding duties, then, one way to acquire easy scholarship money for college is by signing up for the army. The Military is one of the largest sponsors of scholarship programs in the country and they also support fresh high school graduates as well as spouses and children of enlisted men in the army. 2. Join community or government-sponsored programs. If you are an active member in your church, joining the church’s financial assistance program can help you pay for other school-related costs. Although these types of programs may not cover for your entire tuition, but a fraction of what you owe the university will be shouldered by the community’s financial assistance program. 3. Apply for a part-time job. If you are the only one supporting your own education in college, getting a job would be a practical solution to ensuring you will have extra allowance for your schooling and your personal needs. Furthermore, if your parents are supporting your college education, what you earn from your part time job could cover for your school needs. 4. Applying for student loans. Student loans can go as high as $2, 000, depending on how generous your university is. Other colleges can provide you with a maximum of $500 or $1, 000; but regardless of the amount, whenever you are in need of money, you will always have an office to run to that can provide you with instant cash. This might not get you close to obtaining easy scholarship money for college since it is a type financial assistance which you will have to return at the end of the school year. 5. Applying for scholarships and grants. If you are not into the idea of becoming part of the military, if you do not have a community or a society to borrow money from, if you have a part-time job but if you feel your salary is not enough, you can always get easy scholarship money for college from scholarship and grant sponsors. A lot of college students are supported by one or two college scholarships– if they can do it, so can you. Scholarships and grants are better than loans because you need not pay for the financial assistance you have received at the end of the school year. Out of these five choices, applying for easy scholarship money for college is by far the best and easiest choice which you should take. Not only will you avail of financial assistance for you college education, you will no longer have to worry about working an extra job or borrowing money to pay it back.
