The Morehead-Cain – the oldest, most prestigious merit scholarship program in the United States – is proud to introduce the class of 2015. The 52 new scholars will enroll this fall at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – 27 from North Carolina high schools and 19 other U.S. high schools. The class also will include three British and three Canadian scholars. Since its founding in 1945, the Morehead-Cain has been a model for countless merit awards throughout the United States, including the University of Virginia’s Jefferson Scholars Program; Duke University’s Benjamin N. Duke Scholars Program; and Emory University’s Woodruff Scholars Program. Besides covering all expenses for four years of undergraduate study at UNC, the Morehead-Cain features four distinctive summer enrichment experiences. Scholars have the opportunity to complete an outdoor leadership course, carry out public service in the United States or abroad, conduct research at sites around the world and gain experience in private enterprise. The scholarship is valued at more than $90,000 for scholars from North Carolina and more than $170,000 for out-of-state students. The summer enrichment program, designed to broaden each scholar’s experience and worldview, is complemented during the academic year by a Discovery Fund that encourages deeper exploration of a particular interest. From attending development conferences in Geneva to shadowing emergency room doctors in Boston, Morehead-Cain scholars are given the resources to pursue educational opportunities wherever they find them. Currently, more than 240 Morehead-Cain Scholars study on campus, making outstanding contributions across the full range of University life. From student government to community service to the performing arts, Morehead-Cain Scholars play a prominent role in Carolina’s vibrant student community. In the past eight years, 12 Morehead-Cain Scholars have won Rhodes Scholarships to England’s Oxford University, one of the world’s most competitive and prestigious awards for graduate study. Since the first Morehead Scholars graduated from Carolina in 1957, 29 of UNC’s 32 Rhodes Scholars have been Morehead-Cain graduates. Morehead-Cain scholars have accounted for 21 of the University’s 31 Luce Scholars – recent college graduates and young professionals who receive funding for a year of living and learning in Asia. Nineteen of Carolina’s 32 Truman Scholarships, among the nation’s most generous and distinguished awards for graduate study, have been Morehead-Cain scholars. Twenty-six Morehead-Cain scholars have won Fulbright Fellowships. The nearly 3,000 Morehead-Cain alumni across the world are a diverse and distinguished group. They include:
