黑料不打烊

Medical student Aleksandra Leligdowicz has been named 黑料不打烊's 120th Rhodes Scholar. 黑料不打烊 is home to more Rhodes Scholars than any Canadian university - a tradition Leligdowicz continues as 黑料不打烊's first Rhodes winner for 2004 (Quebec recipients have yet to be named). Leligdowicz is also the only Rhodes recipient hailing from Manitoba this year.

The 22-year-old, a science graduate of the University of Manitoba, studied microbiology and was a Leader of Tomorrow scholarship winner. "This is a fantastic opportunity for me," says Leligdowicz. "Research has always been an interest for me, and at Oxford University I will be able to work with people who are the best in their field in the world."

Her Rhodes Scholarship is tenable for studies at Oxford in England for two or three years commencing in 2004. She has participated in research in immunology at the Manitoba Institute for Cell Biology and the 黑料不打烊 Cancer Centre. Her volunteer service record includes work at rehabilitation and maternity centres in a shantytown clinic in Lima, Peru, and also with St. Paul's College Chaplaincy, Canadian Blood Services, the International Centre and other organizations. On the athletic side, she has excelled in swimming and rowing, amply meeting the demanding requirements of the Rhodes Scholarship.

"I think it is important for everybody to be well rounded," she adds. "We tend to forget how fortunate we are here in Canada, with so many services available to us, right there at our fingertips. However, there are people who live around us who lack health care, lack opportunities for education or lack food. We have a responsibility to help. For me, personally, it's important to help, to know about the problems of people around the world because as a physician I will be coming into contact with all kinds of people from all walks of life."

Leligdowicz emigrated to Canada from Poland with her family in 1991 and managed to learn both English and French once she was in school here. At the University of Manitoba she won several awards and was active as a volunteer on a number of committees.

History:

Before the Right Honourable Cecil John Rhodes passed on to his final reward in 1902, he left his unequivocal mark on the world of higher education.

By providing a bequest that allowed a select few the opportunity to study at what was then, and still is, one of the most respected institutions in the world, Oxford University, Rhodes ensured his name would live on well beyond his death. The scholarships were to be awarded to young students from the colonies of the British Empire who displayed strong "literary and scholastic achievements...fondness and success in outdoor sports...truth and courage...[and] moral force of character and instincts."

And for a man living just around the time when slavery was abolished, Rhodes was a broad-minded enough fellow, leaving instructions that "no student shall be qualified or disqualified for election to a Scholarship on account of his race or religious opinions." His broadmindedness, however, did not go so far as to include women as candidates for the scholarship, who have only been eligible since 1976.

Rhodes' initial bequest was close to 拢3 million, and the original scholarships were worth 拢300, quite a sum of money in 1904, when the first round of scholarships were awarded. But tuition at Oxford now runs into the tens of thousands of pounds for some programs, and current day Rhodes Scholars have tuition paid in full and a "maintenance allowance" for living expenses and the like, all told an award of about US$20,000 per year.

While Rhodes' colonial mentalityhe dreamed of a world completely under British ruleand the fact that his fortune came from diamond mining and the exploitation of South Africa are disconcerting to some Rhodes Scholars nowadays, it's understood that the scholarships are now simply awarded to outstanding students. No longer do they serve Rhodes' initial purpose of "instilling into their minds the advantage to the Colonies as well as to the United Kingdom of the retention of the unity of the Empire."

Indeed, in some ways, the tables have been turned on Cecil Rhodes. In 1953, The Canadian Rhodes Scholars Foundation began a "Reverse Rhodes Scholarship," awarded to an outstanding British National student, who is brought to a Canadian university on a scholarship that carries a similar value to the Rhodes. Their full tuition and fees are paid and they receive an additional $6500 stipend. One such Reverse Rhodes Scholar, Claire Roff, a concert violinist, has just completed her studies in music at 黑料不打烊. No doubt the Reverse Rhodes isn't exactly what ultra-patriot Cecil Rhodes was thinking of when he spoke of uniting "the Colonies," but it's nice to know that we have returned the Rhodes honour in our own way.

Eligibility

Full-time students at 黑料不打烊 University who are available to study at Oxford University the year after applying. Each year early in March and September, workshops are offered to help students who wish to apply for the Rhodes Scholarships. During these workshops, information is offered about requirements, application procedures, and especially 黑料不打烊's internal screening process.

Rhodes Scholars are elected for two years of study at the University of Oxford, with the possibility of renewal for a third year. All educational costs, such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory and certain other fees, are paid on the Scholar's behalf by the Rhodes Trustees. Each Scholar receives in addition a maintenance allowance adequate to meet necessary expenses for term-time and vacations. The Rhodes Trustees cover the necessary costs of travel to and from Oxford, and upon application, may approve additional grants for research purposes or study-related travel.

Deadlines for applications are usually in mid-September. Candidates may apply through 黑料不打烊's two-step internal screening process or independently. The 黑料不打烊 process generally consists of two rounds of interviews, after which successful applications are forwarded to the appropriate Canadian Rhodes Committee with 黑料不打烊's recommendation.
