Oxford University Announces Rhodes 2025 Israel Scholarship Winners

Published by www.jpost.com on January 21, 2025.

Hen Davidov and Noam Morris have been selected as the 2025 Rhodes Scholars from Israel, earning a prestigious opportunity to pursue advanced degrees at Oxford University this fall. The Rhodes Scholarship, the world’s oldest and most prestigious, provides a comprehensive scholarship package worth up to $320,000 per student, covering tuition, living expenses, and more.

This year’s selection process was unprecedented. The Rhodes Foundation extended its application deadline by two weeks due to the war in Israel. Many potential candidates were called to active or reserve military duty, making the extension essential for ensuring participation.

Davidov, 25, from Haifa, is a magna cum laude graduate in computer science from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where he is currently completing his master’s degree. He has gained recognition for his research on using AI to assist clinicians in diagnosing breast cancer, and he hopes to further this work at Oxford. Davidov is an environmental activist outside academia advocating for equity and peaceful conflict resolution.
