3. Rhodes Scholarships
 A change was announced in late 2015 with regard
to who may qualify to apply for the United States
Rhodes Scholarships. Previously, only those who
resided or attended university in any of the 50
states or in the District of Columbia were eligible.
Starting 2016, all U.S. citizens as well as certain
United States legal permanent residents who
study at universities in the U.S. territories can
apply for the scholarships.
These territories include Guam, Northern Mariana
Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
and Puerto Rico.
