The Robertson Scholars Program is a full-ride merit scholarship and leadership development program at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill that covers all college costs (tuition, fees, room and board, laptop, etc.). It also provides full funding for three summers of global travel, research, and internships, and gives recipients a unique “dual citizenship” where they are full students at both Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill.

The Robertson Scholars program seeks out students who will be change agents, innovative leaders who have a unique potential to have a profoundly positive impact on the world. Criteria for selection include superior academic achievement, intellectual curiosity, strength of character, courage, and collaborative spirit.

The program seeks to enroll 36 scholars each year, 18 at each campus. All 39,000 or so applications to Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill are considered for the program, but the program strongly encourages interested applicants to fill out the program’s Supplemental Materials Form in order to ensure review of the applicant’s file by the program itself.
