Mike McIntyre Chosen for Morehead-Cain Scholarship Selection Committee – Ward and Smith, P.A.
McIntyre, who is a Morehead Scholar, was an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina from 1974 to 1978. He served on the Robeson County Morehead Scholarship Selection Committee—soon after finishing law school at UNC—for 11 years, nine of which he served as Chairman.
As a member of the Central Selection Committee, he will be interviewing finalists for the new Sophomore Selection Program, where new Morehead-Cain Scholars will be chosen after interviews with 32 finalists. The new sophomore program is an effort to bring into the scholarship program those students who have exemplified, after their freshman year, the outstanding attributes of leadership, service, moral force of character, and physical vigor. The sophomore program emphasizes those who have strong academic and intellectual attributes and visionary leadership, demonstrating extraordinary promise for future impacts at the University and beyond in the communities wherever their pursuits may take them across the state, country, and world.
After a full day of interviews, about half of the finalists will be chosen as the newest Morehead-Cain Scholars as they continue their sophomore year. The Morehead-Cain Scholarship offers a full college scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and includes summer enrichment programs throughout the country and across the world. It is the oldest scholarship based solely upon merit in the United States.
McIntyre served in the United States Congress for 18 years following his deep involvement in community, civic, and church activities in his hometown of Lumberton, where he practiced law. He is now an attorney with Ward and Smith in Raleigh, handling government and economic development issues on both the state and federal levels.
