---------------------- NZ Rhodes Scholars 1903-1993 ----------------------- © 1994 The Electric Book Company Ltd. Rhodes Scholarships have enabled New Zealanders between the ages of 19 and 25, selected for all-round ability, to study at Oxford University. The scholarships are funded from an estate bequeathed for the purpose by a wealthy 19th-century, British capitalist and colonial administrator, Cecil John Rhodes. He was Prime Minister of Cape Colony in the 1890s, but resigned following complicity in the illegal Jameson Raid into the Transvaal, then a Boer Colony, in 1895. Rhodes Scholarships for Commonwealth countries and the US were established according to the terms of Rhodes's will, and the first awarded to a New Zealander was in 1904. There was mostly one scholarship a year until 1926, since when there have been two allocated in most years. Women became eligible in 1977. Scholars have their transport to Oxford paid, and are given a personal allowance during the term of the award (usually two years). They are chosen by a committee, which is chaired by the Governor-General. =================================================================== 1997 === 1903 Not awarded 1904 James Allen Thomson . . . .
