Dr Tariro Makadzange the Zimbabwe National Secretary of the Rhodes Trust
“The Rhodes Scholarships are postgraduate awards supporting outstanding all-round students at the University of Oxford, and providing transformative opportunities for exceptional individuals. The scholarship provides all academic expenses and a stipend for 2 or 3 years at the University of Oxford in England – often ranked as the #1 University in the world by some global rankings.
Established in 1903 under the will of Cecil Rhodes, the Rhodes is the oldest and perhaps the most prestigious international graduate scholarship program in
the world. A class of typically 100 Scholars is selected each year from: Australia, Bermuda, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica & the Commonwealth Caribbean, Kenya, the Middle East (Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine), New Zealand, Pakistan, Southern Africa (including South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia and Swaziland), United States, Zambia and Zimbabwe.”
