Robertson Scholarship
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
The Robertson Scholarship is an undergraduate scholarship program created by Julian and Josie Robertson.
Each year, thirty students are chosen from among the applicants to UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University. Half of the students in the program attend UNC, while the other half attend Duke. All receive full tuition; in addition, students at UNC receive room and living stipends.
The idea of the scholarship is that it allows students to participate in programs at the other school; students must take five classes and spend a semester living at the other school, among other requirements and offerings. This helps the individual students, but also increases collaboration between the schools (UNC and Duke have traditionally been rivals, especially in basketball).
