Rhodes Scholars

From Duke Wiki

The Rhodes Scholarship represents the oldest and most respected postgraduate fellowship a graduating student may win. The scholarship provides for four years of study at Oxford University.

Duke is one of the most well represented institutions in the United States, winning the scholarship less than only a handful of other universities. In recent years, Duke has continued to gain ground, averaging two scholars per year over the last five years.
