british students

There are two ways for students attending high schools in Britain to be considered for the Morehead-Cain. They can:

  • Attend an official British nominating school, receive one of the school's nominations, and complete the online Morehead-Cain application. British schools may nominate up to three candidates per year.
  • Complete the online Morehead-Cain application as a self-nominee. (Application will be available online on August 22.)

Please note that the process of admission to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is separate from the application for the Morehead-Cain Scholarship. Although you are not required to apply to the University to be considered for the Morehead-Cain, you must do so before you can receive the Scholarship. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to apply to the University as soon as possible. All forms and correspondence dealing with admission to Carolina should go directly to the University Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Additionally, you will need to submit a financial certificate, which can be found in the UNC international application.
