John R. Rhodes Scholarship

The John R. Rhodes Scholarship was established in 1979 through generous donations from friends and family of the late John Rhodes. This scholarship, of $3,000, renewable for up to 3 additional years, is offered to a student entering their first year of university studies from high school who has demonstrated academic achievement and community leadership while involved in political, social or academic activities.

For renewal, candidates must maintain a minimum average of 80% each academic year on 30 credits taken in 2 consecutive terms (fall/winter) of study. Candidates must be enrolled in 30 credits over 2 consecutive terms (fall/winter) of study in the current year they are receiving the award. The John R. Rhodes Scholarship is non-cumulative with the Algoma U Awards of Excellence, Edward & Frank McGrath Award, Carl J. Sanders Scholarship, Peggy & Willmont MacDonnell Scholarship, City of Sault Ste.
