Going out on a limb here, but I’m going to take a wild guess and say that the students who end up winning the Morehead-Cain Scholarship are students who have had their parents/teachers/counselors help them put together the best application possible. This goes for any situation in which you’re writing essays or applying for something “big”- you absolutely need someone with a critical eye to proofread things for you and double check deadlines, etc. If you don’t have supportive/helpful/involved parents at home, then you should definitely meet with a counselor or teacher. Having your mom/dad/whoever ask a question or two on CC is hardly being overly involved!

You should also realize that once you are a Morehead-Cain Scholar, the staff of the Morehead-Cain Foundation is devoted to helping you navigate through your four years at UNC - they’e always going to be there to help you out when you get bogged down with homework/studying/planning your summers, etc. You’re never going to have to fend entirely for yourself. Take advantage of the help you can get!
