Scholars also have access to generous funding for up to three summer experiences, funding for conferences throughout the academic year, and for two semesters of study abroad.

GIVE TO RSLP

Julian Robertson gave boldly and generously when he created the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program. He believed in the power of communities, and more importantly, he believed in the power of people to create a better world. 

We launched a Generosity Campaign in his honor, asking you to do as he did: to give boldly and generously as we establish the Julian H. Robertson, Jr., Alumni Fund.
