Rhodes Scholarship

The '''Rhodes Scholarship''' is an elite distinction that few Columbia students have won in recent history. Of course, the scholarship's original aim, to produce a hyper-elite of WASP superheroes to rule the British Empire, doesn't quite jive with Columbia's diverse, international student body, nor its [[postcolonial]] scholarship. Then again, though, [[CCNY]] at times actually produces more Rhodes winners than Columbia.

From [[2002]] to [[2007]], Alma Mater experienced a long losing streak. This was broken when [[George Olive]] and [[Jason Bello]] won scholarships.

You too can try your chances by going through the [[Fellowships Office]].
