The Morehead-Cain is a four-year, fully funded educational experience for students of the highest caliber. It is so much more than tuition and room and board at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It sets scholars’ potential free. It offers life- changing summer enrichment and Discovery Fund experiences. And immersion in a dynamic student body at a world-class university.  

Attention Students, Parents, and Guardians:
Students photographed on 9/19 have image proofs ready to view.
