We are thrilled to celebrate Tia S G., a senior at BASIS Independent Fremont, who has been selected as one of only two students across the BASIS Independent Schools network to be nominated as a candidate for the Morehead-Cain Scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill! Tia will now have the opportunity to apply for the scholarship, with final results expected in mid-February 2027. The Morehead-Cain is the oldest merit scholarship program in the United States and one of the nation’s most prestigious. Approximately 75 Morehead-Cain Scholars are selected each year from an exceptional pool of candidates from North Carolina and select nominating schools across the United States and around the world. Beginning in 2025–26, BASIS Independent Schools became an affiliate nominating partner of the Morehead-Cain Foundation, with the opportunity to nominate only two students from across our network. Tia’s selection reflects the creativity, initiative, and commitment to community impact that she has demonstrated throughout high school. We are incredibly proud of Tia for earning this nomination, and for the curiosity, initiative, and generosity she continues to bring to our community. We wish her the very best as she moves forward in the Morehead-Cain selection process. Congratulations, Tia! 🎉 #MoreheadCainScholarship #UNCChapelHill #StudentAchievement #ClassOf2027 #BASISIndependentFremont
