Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected based on:
Academic evaluation of international applicants will include a review of the grade/mark average based on the grading system used in the applicant’s country and a review of the results of academic examinations.
For U.S. applicants, financial need will be considered in the evaluation process but is not required. Providing financial information is optional.
For applicants outside of the U.S., financial need will not be considered so providing financial information is not necessary.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of C.H. Robinson or the C.H. Robinson Foundation participate in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
