The Office of Fellowships and Grants invites you to join us on May 10, 2021 for an information session focusing on the Big Four graduate study scholarships in the U.K. and Ireland: Rhodes, Gates Cambridge, Marshall and Mitchell. They are among the most generous and most selective of all post-graduate academic awards. The prerequisites for each are superior academic achievement, demonstrated leadership/initiative and service. The expectation of all recipients is cultural engagement and exchange at school and in the host community.

In Monday's session we'll talk about eligibility and application requirements common to all four programs along with elements unique to each. In general, applicants must be in the top academic quartile of their class.

Application deadlines don't arrive until early fall, but work on any of these opportunities must begin long before deadline. Our office routinely works with candidates over the summer.
