Out-of-state Counselors
Secondary schools outside of North Carolina are eligible to nominate one student from the senior class each year by invitation only from the Morehead-Cain Foundation.
Click the appropriate link to find our out-of-state nominating schools by state.
The process for becoming an official nominating school is now closed. We will begin accepting new school interest forms in January 2011. Please check back then.
The Out-of-state School Nomination Process
STEP 1 - Convene a school nominating committee
The committee may include counselors, school administrators, and other faculty members.
STEP 2 - Select one nominee
The committee should nominate the one student who best meets the selection criteria for the Morehead-Cain, regardless of his or her interest in attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
STEP 3 - Refer your school nominee 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 out-of-state 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 the School Report form for your school nominee and mail it with a copy of your nominee's transcript to:
The Morehead-Cain Foundation
Attn: Transcripts
Post Office Box 690
Chapel Hill, NC 27514
The postmark deadline is Friday, October 1, 2010.
