When did the Rhodes Scholarship applications open and close for my October 2027 intake?

For the October 2027 intake, Rhodes Scholarship applications opened on 1 June 2026 and closed on 23 July 2026. Both dates are now in the past, so this window is no longer open.

Rhodes Scholarship 2027 Dates

Planning for the Next Cycle

• The scholarship is for postgraduate courses at the University of Oxford.
• You have to apply a year in advance of your intake.
• The applicant window was 53 days, so a rushed application leaves little room for error.
• Dates for future cycles may differ, and deadlines vary by constituency, so confirm them on the official Rhodes Trust page.

My Advice

Do not wait for the window to open before you start. Draft your documents early and line up your referees well before the reference deadline, then confirm the dates for your intake on the official page.
