Molly Smith has spent the last few months writing essays and interviewing in a rigorous competition for full-ride scholarships to N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill.
North Moore High senior Mallie Clara Purvis has seized every opportunity so far in pursuit of her goal to become a pediatrician.
Now, the advanced chemistry courses, science-and-math intensive summer programs and two years sheâs spent leading a wellness program for preschoolers in Robbins have helped catapult her into the next phase of her education.
Over the next four years a new world of discovery, service and growth will open up for Mallie Clara as a Morehead-Cain scholar at the University of North Carolina.
Established in 1945, the Morehead is the oldest merit scholarship in the United States and remains one of the most competitive. Schools around the United States and abroad nominate more than 1,500 students each year. About half of the 70-member class of 2024 are from outside North Carolina.
