international Counselors
International secondary schools are eligible to nominate up to three students from the senior class each year by invitation from the Morehead-Cain Foundation.
A list of our international nominating schools can be found here.
The process for becoming a Morehead-Cain official nominating school is now closed. We will begin accepting new school interest forms in January 2011. Please check back then.
The International School Nomination Process
STEP 1 - Convene a school nominating committee
The committee may include counselors, school administrators, and other faculty members.
STEP 2 - Select nominees
The committee should nominate up to three students who best meet the selection criteria for the Morehead-Cain, regardless of their interest in attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
STEP 3 - Refer your school nominees to the online application
(Deadline to submit the application is Friday October 1, 2010.)
Please note that if you are a counselor at a secondary school that is not an official international nominating school, your students may still be eligible for the Morehead-Cain if they apply to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by the November 2 early notification deadline through our Admissions Referral Program.
We request that you please complete a School Report form and mail it with your nominees' transcripts to:
The Morehead-Cain Foundation
Attn: Transcripts
Post Office Box 690
Chapel Hill, NC 27514
The postmark deadline is Friday, October 1, 2010.
