In structure and selection criteria, the scholarship is similar to the [[John Monash Scholars|John Monash Scholarship]], [[Schwarzman Scholars|Schwarzman Scholarship]], [[Knight-Hennessy Scholars|Knight-Hennessy Scholarship]], [[Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarship and Leadership Program]], [[Gates Cambridge Scholarship]], [[Marshall Scholarship]], [[Yenching Scholars]]hip, [[Fulbright Program]], [[Erasmus Mundus]] scholarship, and [[Chevening Scholarship]]. As with the Rhodes, the Gates Cambridge, Yenching, Knight-Hennessy, and Schwarzman scholarships are tenable at only one university. The Knight-Hennessy and Schwarzman Scholarships similarly award scholarships to students from all nations, with a focus on public service and leadership.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Gioia |first1=Michael |title=Stanford launching Knight-Hennessy scholarship to attract top graduates |url=https://www.stanforddaily.com/2016/02/24/stanford-launching-knight-hennessy-scholarship-to-attract-top-graduates/ |access-date=5 December 2020 |publisher=The Stanford Daily |date=2016-02-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Building New Rhodes |url=https://www.schwarzmanscholars.org/events-and-news/building-new-rhodes/ |website=Schwarzman Scholars |date=2013-10-25}}</ref>

The Rhodes Scholarship is most closely associated with the [[Marshall Scholarship]], with university fellowship offices often preparing applicants for both concurrently.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Winerip |first=Michael |date=January 12, 2003 |title=How to Win a Rhodes |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/12/education/how-to-win-a-rhodes.html |work=The New York Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=cessatow |date=2023-01-11 |title=Marshall and Rhodes Scholarship Opportunities |url=https://crf.georgetown.edu/general-page/marshall-mitchell-rhodes-scholarships/ |access-date=2024-12-13 |website=Center for Research & Fellowships |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1991-12-12 |title=Brooklyn College Firsts: Marshall and Rhodes (Published 1991) |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/12/nyregion/brooklyn-college-firsts-marshall-and-rhodes.html |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20230512092955/https://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/12/nyregion/brooklyn-college-firsts-marshall-and-rhodes.html |archive-date=2023-05-12 |access-date=2024-12-13 |language=en |last1=Barron |first1=James }}</ref> The founders of the Marshall in 1953 initially considered partnering with the Rhodes and even considered using the same selection committees, but this idea was disregarded because the Marshall proponents believed the scholarships should be available to women, and to married men under the age of 28; at the time, the Rhodes Scholarship was limited to single men under the age of 25.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mukharji |first=Aroop |title=Diplomas and diplomacy: the history of the Marshall Scholarship |date=2016 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |isbn=978-1-137-59428-0 |location=New York (N.Y.)}}</ref> Some highlight a longstanding rivalry between the two since the Marshall was established, with the Rhodes historically perceived as more "athletic" and the Marshall "more intellectual," though the distinctions between them today are negligible.<ref>{{Cite news |title=A KID-GLOVE INQUISITION FOR SCHOLARS |work=The New York Times |date=16 May 1985 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/16/garden/a-kid-glove-inquisition-for-scholars.html |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20171121095907/http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/16/garden/a-kid-glove-inquisition-for-scholars.html |archive-date=2017-11-21 |access-date=2024-12-13 |language=en |last1=Clendinen |first1=Dudley }}</ref> When he applied for the Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships, 1959 Marshall Scholar [[Stephen Breyer]] "made a frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to crew at Stanford in order to fulfill the ''Rhodes'' scholarship's athletic requirement."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Malcolm |first=Gladwell |date=June 25, 1994 |title=JUDGE BREYER'S LIFE FASHIONED LIKE HIS COURTHOUSE |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1994/06/26/judge-breyers-life-fashioned-like-his-courthouse/ed3cc454-180c-43fc-a4be-e16e166213a0/ |newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref>
