Year 11 | Morehead-Cain Scholarship

As we near the end of this academic year, we wanted to draw your attention to a significant scholarship that has an application deadline early next fall.

The Morehead-Cain Scholarship is an exciting opportunity that is available to Canadian students who wish to pursue their education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

This is a four-year, fully funded educational experience for students of the highest calibre. It's so much more than tuition and room and board at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, it sets scholars’ potential free. 

The scholarship offers (and funds) life-changing summer enrichment and extracurricular learning experiences. It provides immersion in a dynamic student body at a world-class university. And, it promises a lifetime connection to an extraordinary community of Morehead-Cains scattered throughout the world.

The Morehead-Cain Scholarship chooses scholars based on four criteria:

1. Leadership: Morehead-Cains influence, energize and inspire others to work together to make an impact. It’s more than titles held or roles played. For scholars, leadership is about courage and action.

2. Scholarship: Morehead-Cains thrive in an academically rigorous environment, yet are able to contribute to their communities in other ways. They are ready to take full advantage of UNC's academic excellence.

3. Character: Courage, humility, integrity, maturity, perseverance, self-awareness, generosity and empathy- these are the core values of the Morehead-Cain community. Morehead-Cains embrace the fact that they are growing and learning.

4. Physical Vigor: Morehead-Cains demonstrate a sustained commitment to fitness and wellness. They value what's gained— collaboration, sportsmanship, discipline, stamina and persistence—by preparing for and engaging in competitions and performances. (Due consideration is given to those with physical limitations.)

Upper Canada College can nominate up to three candidates to apply for this scholarship. We invite all students who feel that they would be an excellent candidate for the Morehead-Cain Scholarship to submit a one-page letter to the University Counselling Office by 3:30 p.m. on Monday, May 25, explaining how they embody the qualities and traits of a successful Morehead-Cain Scholar. Letters should be emailed to Ms. Lopez at elopez@ucc.on.ca.

Students will be notified about their nomination status before summer so that they can begin the application when it opens in August. The application is due on October 1.

Previous Morehead-Cain Scholars from UCC include Chisom Ochuba ’25, Randy Chang ’23, Kene Ochuba ’21 and Kimathi Muiruri ’17.

You can find further information about this incredible opportunity at www.moreheadcain.org. 

Please reach out to your counsellor if you have any questions.
