Yes, this is true. I am a robertson finalist as well, and I just got this e-mail earlier this week about the scholarship being changed to full tuition AND room and board:

"To our Robertson Scholar candidates,
I am delighted to announce that, beginning next semester, the Robertson Scholars Program will cover tuition, housing, board, and mandatory fees for all current and future Duke Robertson Scholars. As a result, both UNC and Duke Scholars’ undergraduate educational expenses will now be fully funded.
Please join me in celebrating this milestone decision and in expressing gratitude to Julian and Josie Robertson for their extraordinary generosity. This decision is a testament to their belief in the Robertson Scholars Program
and in the potential of exemplary young leaders to contribute to a better world.

We know that excellence requires the combination of talent and financial resources. When these come together, amazing things can result. The financial commitments have been made. We are excited about all of the extraordinarily
talented Robertson Scholar finalists!
Warm regards,
Tony"
