I can't think of an serious student who would not want this scholarship. It opens up so many doors for each winner. Congratulations to all the new winners!
Cecil Rhodes wrote out some qualifications that winners of this scholarship should have. Here is the quote, from the historical biography page at the age-of-the-sage website listed below.
<The winner of the Rhodes scholarship should have: >
"'literary and scholastic attainments; his fondness of, and success in, manly outdoor sports; his qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for the protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship, and his exhibition during his school days of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and take an interest in his schoolmates'."
