The first Canadian Rhodes Scholars took up residence in Oxford in 1904, and since that time over a thousand Canadians have been awarded the Scholarship.
The Scholarships in Canada are administered by six regional selection committees as detailed below:
- Three Scholarships to: The Prairie Region (Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta)
- Two Scholarships each to: Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Region (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island)
- One Scholarship each to: British Columbia and Newfoundland & LabradorΒ
Applicants currently studying in Canada are eligible to apply in a region based on either of the following two criteria:
- The region in which you are ordinarily resident. If you are ordinarily resident in the Yukon, Northwest Territories or Nunavut, you may apply in the Prairies Region.
- The region in which you attended a university that has granted or will be granting you a degree. Exception: applicants who have attended or are attending a university in Newfoundland & Labrador must also be resident in that region.
Applicants currently studying outside Canada should apply in the region in which they are normally resident.
