Five students with military ties were among the 32 Americans awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship last week, earning a year of studies at the University of Oxford in England.
The scholarship, whose alumni include world leaders such as former President Bill Clinton and current U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, is awarded based on academic achievement, personal character and “instincts to lead,” according to the committee’s criteria.
