Robertson Scholars join a lifelong community committed to transformational change.  They explore who they are, what they're committed to, and how to lead from their values in the face of an ever changing world.

The Robertson selection process focuses on finding students committed to making systems level changes in the world around them, who believe in possibilities, and have the creative imagination to solve intractable problems. We seek to build a community comprised of individuals seeking to work and learn alongside equally inspired change agents with varied interests and passions.
