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.
