    The first merit scholarship program established in the United States. Founded at the first public university in the United States. The first to envision and implement a strategic summer enrichment program and, most recently, the first to designate a fund for discovery for each of our scholars. Established in 1945 and inspired by the Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University, the Morehead-Cain provides an undergraduate experience without peer.

  • In the Granada Province of southern Spain, I engaged in full cultural immersion for an academic semester. Class topics included Spanish language, Islamic Art and Architecture, Mediterranean Ecosystems, and Arab Relations in the West. My coursework encouraged and emphasized literal application, and incorporated numerous fieldtrips throughout Andalusia.
