Dear Students,

We would like to announce an information session regarding the scholarship program of Morehead-Cain Foundation for Boğaziçi University students.

Founded in 1945 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Morehead-Cain Foundation is a merit scholarship program that provides various opportunities to contribute to the education of individuals who can lead societies, discover and realize their potential and shape the future.

The foundation will provide grants to a number of undergraduate students from our university to cover accommodation and living expenses while studying as an exchange student for an academic year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 2025-2026 academic year.

Those interested in the program are invited to attend the Information Session, which will take place on January 13th at 14.00 in South Campus Demir Demirgil Hall (ÖFB).

A Q&A session will follow, where you can direct your questions to the representatives of the foundation. Please fill out this form if you plan to attend the information session. It is important for us to organise the event effectively.
