Alain Locke Studentship

The Hertford College Alain Locke Studentship is in memory of Alain Leroy Locke, the first African-American Rhodes Scholar, who entered Hertford in 1907. It is restricted to Rhodes Scholars whose funding is at an end but who need additional time to complete their studies at Oxford. It is tenable for one academic year.

Applications for the 2025-26 academic year have now closed. We expect to advertise a studentship for the 2026-27 academic year in Spring 2026.
