Author Matshona Dhliwayo once said, “What you pour out into the world is poured right back into you.” Hillside High School Senior Scarlett Bermudez may need a larger cup to receive what is in store for her. The founder of an aspirational organization called Mariposa that aims to sow inspiration and confidence into young Latina girls to support the Latinx community, she has been named the district’s only Morehead-Cain Scholar this year. The achievement provides her a four-year, fully funded academic experience at UNC-Chapel Hill.
The Morehead-Cain is a competitive scholarship extended to exceptional student leaders at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It is the most prestigious scholarship offered by the university. The merit based scholarship recognizes students demonstrating excellence in the areas of leadership, character, scholarship, and/or physical vigor. Recipients of the scholarship receive a full-ride, summer enrichment opportunities, and extra-curricular learning activities.
