The Robertson Scholars Leadership Program seeks students who have demonstrated outstanding potential to become great leaders in college and beyond. Our goal is for Robertson Scholars to play significant and impactful roles in their communities and society, today and in the future.

At the heart of the Robertson Scholars Program is the belief that Duke and UNC Chapel Hill offer complementary experiences. Scholars are dual citizens of both schools, and beginning in their 2nd semester, Scholars take courses, engage with extracurricular activities, connect with faculty, and perform research at the sister institution. 

There is no such thing as a ‘typical Robertson Scholar’. Our Scholars pursue a range of passions, academic interests, and personal and professional goals. While each Scholar brings their own skill sets, strengths, and personalities to the program, they share the following traits: purposeful leadership, intellectual curiosity, strength of character, and collaborative spirit.

Applications and additional information may be located at Robertson Scholars.
