The Morehead-Cain Scholarship at UNC provides the following...
- Full tuition & fees
- Room & board
- Textbooks
- A laptop computer
- Funds to educational discovery activities
- Four summer enrichment programs on Outdoor Leadership, Public Service, Inquiry & Exploration, and Private Enterprise
The application process is highly competitive and students must demonstrate accomplishment in four key areas...
Leadership-Leaders demonstrate courage, action, and initiative. Our scholars act, impact, influence, and inspire.
Moral Force of Character-Integrity, empathy, bravery, humility, maturity, and generosity
Scholarship-We seek candidates for whom learning is an appetite rather than a means to an end-those who will take full advantage of UNC's academic excellence.
Physical Vigor-Candidates must demonstrate a sustained commitment to an active lifestyle and a dedication to fitness and physical activity.
If this describes you and you wish to be considered, you must submit a description of how you exemplify each of these four criteria. One paragraph per criteria will be sufficient. A faculty committee will review your submission and your transcript and then select two nominees to continue in the application process.
Paragraphs should be submitted to Jill O'Kane by September 14th.
