Victoria is a smart student. She comes from Hwange. She just finished school at the University of Zimbabwe. She was the best in her class.

Victoria will go to Oxford next. She got a special prize called the Rhodes Scholarship, which pays for her to study there. She beat out many others who wanted it, too.

Victoria attended Marist Brothers Dete High School and was a top student there. She later got money to attend the University of Zimbabwe.

Victoria will study with other bright people at Oxford, where over 100 students from many places will be.

Mr. Mhlanga runs the Rhodes Scholarship in Zimbabwe. He said Victoria got the only open spot for next year. It shows how special she is.

Victoria is very happy and thankful. She knows this is a big deal. Her family and friends helped her do well. She wants to learn a lot at Oxford and hopes to help the world afterward.

Victoria likes science. She wants to study how nature can make medicine cheaper and easier to obtain, which she thinks could aid many.

Other Zimbabweans can apply for the Rhodes Prize, too. Mr. Mhlanga hopes many more smart people will try next year. He is proud of the bright youth like Victoria.
