The Morehead-Cain Foundation in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has announced the 2018 class of Morehead-Cain Scholars.

The oldest merit scholarship program in the United States covers all expenses for four years of undergraduate study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and offers a four-year summer enrichment program that includes an outdoor leadership course, public service activities in the U.S. or abroad, research opportunities, and business internships. During the academic year, scholars receive support from the Morehead-Cain Discovery Fund, which enables them to more deeply explore their particular interests.

Selected on the basis of merit and accomplishment, the 2018 class of Morehead-Cain Scholars includes thirty-one students from North Carolina, sixteen from eleven other states, four from the United Kingdom, and one each from Brazil, Canada, Italy, South Africa, Turkey, and Vietnam.
