Billy Byiringiro was beyond ecstatic when he found out that he was the recipient of the 2021 Rhodes scholarship to pursue postgraduate studies.
He is the first Rwandan to win the oldest graduate scholarship in the world — a prestigious international scholarship established in 1903 that enables students to study at the University of Oxford.
