Last week, JBHE published a featured story on the 10 African Americans who were named Rhodes Scholars from the United States. The 32 Rhodes Scholars chosen from the United States are just a fraction of the students honored by the Rhodes Scholarship program. Rhodes Scholars are chosen from 23 other jurisdictions (more than 60 countries) around the world, and for the second year, two scholars have been chosen from countries in the world without their own scholarship. Over one hundred Rhodes Scholars will be selected worldwide this year, including several who have attended American colleges and universities but who are not U.S. citizens and who have applied through their home countries.
