President Barack Obama was a Rhodes Scholar candidate but didn't make it to the Rhodes Scholarship finalist/elected when he applied for the world's most prestigious scholarship.

However, former US President, Bill Clinton, was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxofrd University.

No, President Obama is not, and was not, a Rhodes Scholar. In fact, he has admitted that until his junior year in college, he was not a very motivated student. His interest in political science, and later in law, spurred him to apply himself more; and by the time he was in law school, he was able to graduate with academic honors. But it was Bill Clinton who was a Rhodes Scholar, not Barack Obama.

No, this is another internet myth. There is no credible evidence that Mr. Obama was a Fulbright Scholar, nor was he ever a Rhodes Scholar.

How do I get a high school senior scholarship?

When I was in school at both the University of Toronto and Ryerson, I didn't receive a cent of scholarship money. I did receive an honorarium for being president of the student residence council at U of T Scarborough. And I did receive some money from the Millennium Scholarship Fund, but that was more loan relief than a scholarship - I had to be in debt to get the money, and it was applied directly to my OSAP debt. While it was nice to have less OSAP to pay back, having some actual cash would have been nice too.
