Ronald E. McNair Scholars
Program
The McNair Scholars Program provides opportunities and resources to prepare eligible
undergraduate students with career interests in collegiate teaching and research to
pursue graduate studies leading to a doctoral degree. The goal of this program is
to increase the number of students in doctoral degree programs who are low-income
and first generation undergraduates or students who come from groups underrepresented
in graduate education.
