What is the McNair Scholars Program?
Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program
The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded TRIO Program that provides encouragement,
guidance, and mentorship to underrepresented students in preparation for graduate
school. Additionally, we work closely to help students prepare for doctoral study
through research and scholarly activities. The purpose of the McNair program is to
assist in the academic and professional development of undergraduates whose goals
are to attain a Ph.D. and complete research at the college level.
