criteria

To be eligible you must be:

a competitive applicant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
in the 12th grade and on track to graduate in the spring of 2011.
unmarried and without children.

To be selected you must demonstrate:

Moral Force of Character

This is the bedrock of the Morehead-Cain culture.
Integrity. Empathy. Bravery. Humility. Maturity. Generosity.

Scholarship

We seek not so much the student as the scholar--the one for whom knowledge is about more than grades and test scores, and for whom learning is an appetite rather than a means to an end.

Physical Vigor

It is as simple as a demonstrated commitment to an active lifestyle and a dedication to fitness and physical activity.

Leadership

For the Morehead-Cain, it may not be what you think. We look not so much for titles or roles. Rather, we look for courage and action.

Morehead-Cains initiate. They act and they impact. They influence and they inspire.
