Change Expected To Joint Program
By Mala Desai | July 18Officials say that the Robertson Scholars Program was a success after its first year and that there will be only small changes made to it for its second year. The program is a joint merit-based scholarship program that seeks to increase collaboration between UNC and Duke University. Students cannot apply to the program directly -- the admissions offices on both campuses choose applications from the overall applicant pool. Thirty finalists are selected for the four-year undergraduate scholarship program in March and come from different U.S. states and foreign countries.
