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.
