You will need to apply for Institutional Endorsement from McMaster and if granted, complete the Rhodes application on their website.
The application for Institutional Endorsement is available on AwardSpring in August of each year. The application will include a personal statement, CV, transcript and three reference letters.
An internal committee makes Institutional Endorsement selections in late-September.
Authorization Code: students will not require an authorization code this year to submit their application. Applicants will be unable to submit an application without an independent endorsement from their university, which will act as authorization.
McMaster’s President submits an endorsement letter directly to the Rhodes Trust.
