[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes them different?[/quote]

My understanding is that Rhodes Scholarship winners need to be fine students who show leadership and athletic excellence. Fulbright winners need to be great scholars. [/quote]

[b]Really? That is interesting. I know 3 Rhodes winners and none were athletes but came from ivies.

My impression of Fulbright winners is that they have shown strong commitment to community service. The one ai know went to a fine but not highly ranked college although they were a strong student there. [/quote[/b]]

The PPs information is outdated. Rhodes used to seek athletes as it did men.  It was considered to be part of being a well-rounded man.  I competed the first year women were allowed to compete but was an athlete and top student in my class.  You must be supported by your University in your application.

Fulbrights are a mix but certainly not "great scholars".  Those would be the candidates for the Marshall scholarship.[/quote]
