<b>It’s the time of year to start the Rhodes, Marshall, & Churchill Scholarship campus application process!
</b>Please share the information below with students, colleagues, etc. as appropriate. Students may apply to be considered as a KU nominee for any of the awards as early as spring of their junior year. The campus deadline this year is May 20<sup>th</sup>. National
deadlines for those selected to participate in the national competitions will be in September and October.</p>

The awards are open to students and recent alums of all majors and career interests. Those with strong GPAs, campus and community involvement, leadership potential, and strong professional/academic relationships tend to make the best candidates. The Rhodes
Scholarship is open to international students.</p>
