The Morehead Alumni

Morehead Alumni will be the first to tell you that the Morehead-Cain is much more than just a great scholarship.

They should know.
They are living proof.


Morehead Alumni know that the Morehead-Cain is about more than four amazing years at Carolina and four equally amazing summer experiences.

The Morehead-Cain is a lifelong designation. A lifelong distinction.

If you are a Morehead Alumnus or Alumna, you know that whenever someone finds out that you are a Morehead, they begin to expect more out of you than they would otherwise.

The bar is raised. Significantly.

The Morehead-Cain is also a lifelong challenge.

  • A challenge to discover the best you have to offer. To find and nurture your own strengths and interests.
  • A challenge to continually grow and develop as a leader in whatever community you find yourself in — local, regional, national, or global.
  • A challenge to spend your life seeking ways to do more for the world around you than you do for yourself.

This is the Morehead-Cain Challenge. And this is what Morehead-Cain Scholars do.
