Four Indian-Americans are among the 32 students chosen from the US as Rhodes Scholars virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The diverse group, that won scholarships to the Oxford University in England, comprises immigrants and students of colour.
American Secretary of the Rhodes Trust Elliot Gerson announced the names of the 32 Americans chosen as Rhodes Scholars representing the US on Sunday.
The four Indian-American students include Swathi R Srinivasan, Vijayasundaram Ramasamy, Garima P Desai and Savarni Sanka.
Never before has a class of Rhodes Scholars been elected entirely virtually, with both candidates and selectors participating digitally.
