<p>Is it required to include SA students as Rhode’s scholars?</p>

<p>I can use this is my arguments against some of my teachers who say that USNA isn’t quote “the brightest light in the bay”</p>

<p>It is not required to have Rhodes Scholars from Service Academies every year, but being at a Service Academy certainly does not exclude you. The four criteria for the scholarship as listed in Cecil Rhodes’ Will (below) are actually quite aligned with the goals of all the Service Academies.</p>

<h1>literary and scholastic attainments;</h1>

<h1>energy to use one’s talents to the full, as exemplified by fondness for and success in sports;</h1>

<h1>truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship;</h1>

<h1>moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an interest in one’s fellow beings.</h1>
