For Employees

Scholarship Applications Now Open for Employee Dependents 

Applications are open for the 2026 Megan Champ Morgan Scholarship, which was created to support employee dependents seeking to complete post-secondary education at an accredited not-for-profit institution of higher learning in the fields of health sciences, elementary or secondary education and computer sciences or information technology.

The program is made possible by former WakeMed President & CEO Raymond Champ, and his wife, Meredyth, who established the fund in 2022 to honor their daughter, Megan. In 2025, the scholarship was expanded to support WakeMed dependents working to obtain certifications and vocational training, in addition to college degrees. The Megan Champ Morgan Scholarship can provide up to $10,000 per individual. Applicants must be in the first or second year of school and either enrolled or intending to enroll in a health science, elementary or secondary education, and computer sciences or information technology program. Applicants and their parent(s) must also meet some eligibility requirements. Preference is given to candidates who demonstrate and can define a clear financial need for support. The application deadline is 5 pm on May 1, 2026.  Access the application here and learn more about the history of the Megan Champ Morgan Scholarship Fund.
