Be endorsed by their schools or cégeps and come through the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation area committee system.
- Applications are distributed on behalf of the Canadian Morehead-Cain Programme by the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation (CMSF). Complete the application (check the Morehead-Cain box on page five) and submit it in duplicate with transcripts to your school.

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.
