CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Catholic High School seniors Cole Davies, Jack Deering and Paul Gennett were recently named semi-finalists for the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
The Morehead-Cain Scholarship, created in 1945 and inspired by the Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University, is the first merit scholarship program established in the United States.
The scholarship is comprised of four years of full tuition, student fees, housing, meals, books, a laptop computer, and other needed supplies, plus Discovery Funds for educational opportunities, a four-year summer enrichment program, and interactions with and lifetime connections to previous Morehead-Cain winners.
