Ron Brown Scholars are selected in the spring prior to entering college. Applications are screened during the month of February by Ron Brown Scholar staff. In March, twenty finalists are invited to participate in a weekend selection process in Washington, D.C. at the expense of the CAP Foundation. Finalists are interviewed by members of the Ron Brown Selection Committee and expected to participate in a seminar. Scholarship winners are selected on the basis of their applications, seminar participation, and interviews.
Notification follows immediately.
Names of finalists will be posted on the Ron Brown Scholar Program web site at the beginning of April. Students may use the scholarship to cover the costs of tuition, fees, books, room and board, computers, health insurance, general living expenses, and other college-related expenses. Scholars may request that all or a portion of the award be utilized each year of undergraduate study or deferred for graduate study. Click here for the Application .
