The McNair Scholars program prepares eligible students for graduate
school. During the academic year, students attend monthly seminars,
meet visiting scholars, and participate in student and professional
conferences. As well, the McNair Director is available to provide
specialized academic advising, admissions and financial aid application
assistance. During the summer, McNair students may apply to participate
in SOAR, a paid research internship which provides an in-depth
research experience, working one-on-one with a faculty mentor,
and the opportunity to network with other undergraduates from
across the nation.
To be eligible for The McNair Program, participants
must be low-income students whose parents do not have an undergraduate
degree or African-American, Hispanic, or Native American.
