Students may also design their own fellowship and research programs, and have done so at various venues including local theatres, non-profits, museums and research facilities.

The majority of Rhodes students receive some form of financial aid. In addition to academic fellowships and scholarships, Rhodes awards grants and loans to those with a significant financial need.
