States Pick Two

Candidates who pass the University
Committee's approval will
appear before the State Committee
in December. Each state
may send two candidates to its
district committee, each representing
six states.

Of the twelve applicants who
appear before the district committee,
four will go to the University
of Oxford as Rhodes
Scholars. They will attend Oxford
for at least two years and
will receive an annual stipend
of 1150 pounds.

To be eligible for a Rhodes
Scholarship, a candidate must be
a male citizen of the United
States, with at least five years'
domicile, and unmarried.
