To be selected for the Morehead-Cain

You must demonstrate:

Moral Force of Character

Integrity, empathy, bravery, humility, maturity, generosity: these form the bedrock of the Morehead-Cain culture.

Scholarship

It isn’t the high-achieving student we seek so much 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’s as simple as a demonstrated commitment to an active lifestyle and a dedication to fitness and physical activity.†

Leadership

It’s more than titles held or roles played. Here, leadership demonstrates courage and action. Morehead-Cains initiate. They act and impact. They influence and they inspire.

The Morehead-Cain is conferred solely on the basis of merit. Financial need is not considered in the selection of Morehead-Cain Scholars.
