A '''Rhodes Scholar''' is a holder of a Rhodes Scholarship at the [[University of Oxford]] in the [[United Kingdom]]. The scholarships are awarded by the Rhodes Trust, endowed by the will of the imperialist statesman [[Cecil Rhodes]] and founded in 1902, and originally open to scholars from the [[British Empire]], the [[United States]] and [[Germany]]. Scholars are eligible to study any postgraduate degree at Oxford (excluding [[MBA]]). Since the foundation of the trust, more than 7,000 Rhodes Scholars have attended Oxford.

The scholarship was expressly established to benefit scholar-athletes who excelled in both academics and athletics. Over time, the award has been increasingly given to [[liberal]] recipients lacking achievement in either athletics or academics.  For example, scholarship recipient [[Bill Clinton]] had no athletic achievement and refused to release his suspect academic record either. He took the scholarship money for attending Oxford but could not earn a degree there.
