Ronald McNair Program

Each year, the McNair Program selects at least 10 students in the fall of their sophomore year and works with them through their senior year. The program prepares and encourages post-baccalaureate education with the ultimate goal of choosing an academic career.

The McNair Program can benefit you by:

• Providing funding for substantive summer research with a faculty mentor following your sophomore and junior years
• Publishing selected student research in The McNair Journal of Multidisciplinary Research
• Finding teaching and research assistantships to allow you to explore academic careers
• Facilitating graduate fellowships at select universities nationwide
• Offering GRE fee waivers and graduate school application fee waivers (for selected schools)
  
• Providing McNair tutorials with enriched academic preparation, research skill development, intensive career education, and graduate school process familiarization

The McNair Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and is a part of the TRIO Program. Contact our McNair staff to learn more about the program and eligibility requirements.
