Ruth Johanna Tomlin ’16 Named Morehead-Cain Scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill Hopkins senior Ruth Tomlin of Stratford, Connecticut, is the recipient of the highly selective and prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Modeled after the Rhodes Scholarship, selection criteria for the Morehead-Cain are leadership, academic achievement, moral force of character and physical vigor. Recipients are chosen solely on the basis of merit and accomplishment. Scholars receive full tuition, room and board, books and a laptop computer and participate in four summer enrichment programs. “Hopkins was designated a nominating school for Morehead-Cain
in 2012, and Ruth is the first of our students to travel to Chapel Hill for the finalist weekend and to be selected,” said Sue Paton, Director of College Counseling. “We could not be more proud of Ruth. This is a tremendous honor for her and for Hopkins.” At Hopkins, Ruth is a Senior Fellow and mentor to a group of seventh graders, a Peer Tutor, Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook, a teacher in Breakthrough New Haven, a varsity field hockey player, a tour guide in admissions, and a participant for one year in the High School Cooperative Language program where she learned German.
