Program Description:*  The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate 
Achievement Program is an exciting effort designed to encourage 
low-income individuals who are first-generation college students and/or 
historically underrepresented in graduate education to pursue doctoral 
study.   The McNair Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, 
proposes to motivate and prepare promising students for graduate study.  
As a result of participating in the McNair Program, McNair Scholars will 
gain demonstrable research skills, acquire valuable knowledge about 
graduate education and how to access it, and increase their chances of 
applying for and being successful in doctoral study.  McNair Scholars, 
under the direction of a faculty mentor, will be responsible for the 
completion of a carefully planned research assignment for which they may 
be selected to receive a stipend of up to $2,700 to defray costs of 
participation in the summer research project. Other activities and 
benefits include:  travel to a professional meeting or conference; 
seminars designed to introduce participants to the culture of graduate 
education through successful role models; participation in a GRE 
Intensive Review Session; assistance in defining, setting, and realizing 
educational goals; and access to computer and information technology.

 

*More information about the McNair Program is available on the McNair 
Web site:*
