in Union Carbide and helped found Texas Petrochemicals. Before her gift, the Morehead Foundation had $115 million. Selection process When the scholarship program started, high school seniors were nominated by their high school administrators. By the 2000s, students could also apply directly for the scholarship. In addition, the UNC admissions office also nominates potential candidates for the scholarship. The selection process is extremely rigorous and intensely competitive. There are several rounds of interviews and activities. Annually, there are around 2,000 applicants; only three percent of each year's nominees are selected. The criteria for selection are character, leadership, physical vigor, and scholarship. Around 50 to 75 scholarships are offered each year, with about 200 Morehead scholars on campus at any one time. Summer Enrichment Program Starting in 1974, the scholarship began providing opportunities for international travel and internships through the Morehead Summer Enrichment Program. The program is now structured across four summers and fully funds activities in four areas: a three-week outdoor leadership course, research or travel across five to twelve weeks to provide a global perspective, professional experience through an internship, and working on a community's challenges for eight to ten weeks to gain an understanding of citizenship and civic collaboration.
