A group of outstanding Saudi students has been selected to pursue advanced studies at the University of Oxford after receiving the Rhodes Scholarship, one of the world’s oldest and most distinguished academic awards.
The achievement underscores the Kingdom’s growing academic excellence and aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s commitment to empowering national talent and fostering a new generation of leaders equipped with global knowledge and innovation skills.
The Rhodes Scholarship — a fully funded program that covers two to three years of study at Oxford — offers scholars the opportunity to develop leadership, critical thinking, and global citizenship, preparing them to make meaningful contributions in their home countries and beyond.
The Saudi recipients expressed their pride in representing the Kingdom at one of the world’s most prestigious universities, emphasizing their dedication to giving back to their nation by applying the knowledge and experience gained abroad.
Founded in 1902, the Rhodes Scholarship remains one of the most competitive academic programs globally, recognizing exceptional individuals for their intellect, leadership, and service. The success of Saudi scholars this year reflects the Kingdom’s rising stature in global education and its continued investment in youth as catalysts for progress and innovation.
