32 students from US named Rhodes Scholars for 2012 (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The Rhodes Trust says 32 American students were chosen as Rhodes Scholars and will be awarded scholarships to study at Oxford University.

The awards announced early Sunday provide all expenses for two or three years of study at the prestigious university in England. The winners were selected from 830 applicants endorsed by 299 different colleges and universities. The scholars will enter Oxford next October.

The value of the scholarships averages about $50,000 per year.

Rhodes Scholarships were created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes. Winners are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor, among other attributes.

The American students will join an international group of scholars selected from 14 other jurisdictions around the world. Approximately 80 scholars are selected each year.
