What Is Robertson Scholars Leadership Program?
Robertson is a four-year merit scholarship and leadership-development program shared by Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill. High-school applicants are current seniors, not grades 9-12 generally, and must submit the Robertson application plus a separate first-year admission application to Duke and/or UNC in the same cycle.
High-school-selected Scholars receive eight semesters of tuition, room, board, and mandatory fees, access resources at both universities, participate in cross-campus and leadership programming, and may receive funding for up to three summers. Health insurance and non-mandatory fees are not covered by the scholarship.
