McNair Scholars Program

The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program is designed to increase graduate rates and post-baccalaureate success among first generation students with financial need and students who come from a minority population that is underrepresented in graduate education. We work closely with students in completing their undergraduate requirements, encouraging and supporting their entrance into graduate programs, and tracking their progress to successful completion of advanced degrees.

Students who are sophomores during the 2019/20 academic year should talk to their academic advisors and professors this semester. Take our eligibility survey to the right to make sure you are eligible. And get in touch during our virtual office hours. Check the "Contact us" link at the left for more information on how to reach us.
