<p>I am currently senior in high school and I just recently came across the Robertson Scholars program.</p>
<p>The program provides scholars with:
Four-year scholarship, including undergraduate tuition, mandatory fees, room and board
Unique access to the academic and extracurricular offerings at both Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill
Three summers of domestic and international experiences
Customized leadership and professional development opportunities
Extensive community of Robertson Scholars, alumni, and staff</p>
<p>I never heard of Robertson scholars until yesterday and I wasn't even thinking about applying to Duke until I learned how awesome the program was. </p>
<p>I am aware of UVA's Jefferson Scholars, but I was wondering if there are there any other similar programs?
My main interests are public policy, international business, or international affairs. </p>
<p>Well, the UNC Chapel Hill Robertson scholarship should be reasonably similar…</p>
<p>The Robertson is incredibly competitive. In fact, these days it’s difficult enough just getting into Duke. Although it’s technically not required, I strongly recommend completing the Robertson supplement that’s due in November. There’s advantages and disadvantages to the Robertson – send me a PM if you want more info on the program, though my experience is a few years old at this point.</p>
<p>As for similar programs, I don’t know of any. Few top colleges are linked as closely except for some of the consortia (Claremont colleges, Quaker schools, 5 Colleges), and they don’t have a similar scholarship. </p>
<p>Look into the Huntsman program at Penn, which feels the most like Duke. </p>

<p>Look at the stamps scholarship website and check out each of the partner schools.</p>
