[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW there are new scholarships you should took at if your students wants to study at Oxford as a post grad.  The Barry and The Fortescue.  https://www.barryscholarship.org/.  These scholarships provide room, board, tuition and spending allowance and 3 round trips to  home each year.[/quote]

Thanks PP. How does a student get tapped for a nomination for the Barry scholarship? The website says that students cannot apply, they must be nominated. But I don’t see any info on who makes a nomination. Would the student express interest to his or her university, then the university takes it from there?[/quote]

Interesting. Based on the profiles of the students, this scholarship seems to lean moderate to conservative in terms of the students and their academic affiliations and extracurricular pursuits. [/quote]

you are correct. Rhodes went super woke. This is the new kid in town to replace it, and with a more generous stipend[/quote]
Rhodes has a long, respected history of leaders in the United States. The Barry is producing our future class of reticent, meek elite academics who will be forgotten by time.[/quote]

Even the Rhodes alumni are concerned about its future. https://airmail.news/issues/2024-6-1/the-view-from-here[/quote]
So let's get this right...a  non-Rhodes scholar who is a bitter conservative was rejected from the Rhodes Scholarship is now speaking for a small group of conservative alum who are angry that there are now women and students of color in the Rhodes scholarship. The author makes it sound ridiculous that there are now so many people of color in the Rhodes scholarship as if higher education hasn't become increasingly diverse. And the Russia/China stuff is outrageous. Why do conservatives harp about talent and meritocracy, and then, when those people are from nations they don't support, suddenly we need to ban those people from participation? And also, who is this author but a man whose just earth-shatteringly dry. He is bitter about the Boudin situation, but, frankly, I'd also give a scholarship to someone who will definitely have future prominence and has an actual fascinating story over some random decent academic student. Sure, your parents aren't terrorists, but are you interesting?[/quote]
