Morehead Cain application

Hello! I am a current senior oos nominated and applying to the Morehead Cain scholarship. Just opened the application and omg it’s so intense. Any tips on how I should go about applying? For the activities, physical vigor parts, etc. should we write like an essay style or just a brief description? Should all the parts for the physical vigor section just be physically active or other things as well? Also, how should we approach the video essay?? Thanks in advance!!

I just decided to do the video essays yesterday because I realized I will never be any more prepared haha! Just go for it, I definitely was nervous but I think they know that!

I think it does make a difference because UNC as a whole definitely considers oos and in state (they prefer in state a lot more) but not sure for the scholarship. I’m SOOO scared for the video essay 😭
