Robertson Scholarship 2023

I was wondering if anyone has any information or stats on how many people are usually selected and what type of student they look for.

Based on the Robertson website, it looks like around 30-34 selected annually and that they are pretty evenly divieded between UNC and Duke student…so, about 15-17 per school. They seem to be looking for the cream of the crop, but with a bent towards making a difference with their careers vs just academic excellence. Are you currently in the application process?

Hi all, D19 has applied for both schools, hoping to make it into the program! It is exactly what she wants to be doing in college. Chances are slim, but if you don’t apply, you’ll never know. We are OOS from TX.

We are OOS from Alabama…fingers crossed. Looks like EA decisions will be out Friday for UNC…

@scpops Just an update, I did call the UNC admissions office and was informed that EA decision will not be coming out until next week starting the 28th.

Thanks for the info…that is what I had gathered on other posts…good luck

Hi all! Does anyone have a possible date emails are sent for the Robertson?

@momcatof4 According to the website, they are supposed to be sent out mid-February.

Good luck!!

Robertson Scholars Leadership Program invitations for Semi-Finalist SKYPE interviews will be issued on a rolling basis this year. Invitations will begin to roll out on the 11th of February and continue through the 22nd of February. All students will be notified of their status by February 23, 2019.

Has anyone had their semifinalist interview yet? How was it? Had mine yesterday - wasn’t expecting it to be basically all about my ECs!!!
