McNairs Scholar Program
The McNair Scholars Program is currently recruiting new students for the 2020-2021 Cohort and we need your help to identify students with academic potential who may be interested in graduate school and could benefit from this program.
The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded Trio Program named after Astronaut Ronald E. McNair. Our mission is to provide curriculum, academic coaching and support to first generation, low income and underrepresented minority students to prepare them for PhD programs. We work with students to help them complete a research project, study for the GRE and present at undergraduate research conferences. We also support them during their graduate school admissions process. If you know of a student who is excelling in your program and exhibits the intellectual curiosity that would make them an excellent candidate for graduate school, can you please direct them to our office, our website at https://www.unco.edu/mcnair/ or to one of our upcoming information sessions below?
Thursday, February 13th 4:00-5:00 pm Gunter 1140
