<p>The Cecil Rhodes Scholarship is still paid for by the money Rhodes made while he was alive, unlike a University which is now funded by tuition and endowments. He personally put money aside to fund scholarships and that money is still being used.<<</p>

<br>

<p>He set up a trust in his will and the scholarships are paid off the investment earnings from his estate. Just like the Nobel prizes and very similar to a university endowment.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>…he specifically wanted to recruit students in order to create a little army of white racist imperialists to control the world.<<</p>

<br>

<p>In that case he failed miserably. The Rhodes scholars I personally know are some least racist people you can imagine. </p>

<p>Naomi Wolf, Bill Bradley, Kris Kristoferson, David Souter, Bill Clinton, Pat Haden, George Stephanopolis - Rhodes scholars all. Not exactly a roll call at a meeting of the KKK. You are barking up the wrong tree with this conspiracy theory nonsense.</p>
