The Rhodes Scholarships to Oxford, the Marshall Scholarships to the United Kingdom, and the Mitchell Scholarships to Ireland are especially prestigious, therefore especially competitive. All three require a significant letter of endorsement by Loyola University Chicago among its application materials.

Students who are interested in applying for one of these awards must understand that it is a complex, sometimes time-consuming process. As the Fellowship Office must coordinate the campus process for endorsement, we have established the following internal requirements for each award:

Interested students must submit the following information no latter than 1 month before the fellowship deadline.

  • A narrative of no more than 500 words detailing the Oxford degree program in which you wish to enroll, including why that degree program and its resources are the best for your career goals.
  • A list of at least five and no more than eight people who can provide you with letters of reference.
  • Written confirmation you have read and agree to comply with the FO Ethics Statement.

All materials must be sent via e-mail to the Fellowship Office.
