This is a past event.

Do you want to get a PhD? Thinking about it but unsure how to get there? The McNair Scholars Program helps students get ready for grad school—and we'll pay you too.

If you are heading into your junior or senior year in the upcoming fall, this is the time to start thinking about what comes next. McNair is a program to help students who are first generation and low-income, or from an underrepresented ethnic/racial minority group. Unsure if that means you? We can help!

Join us for an information session to learn more about McNair and decide if applying is the right move for you. Info sessions will be in person and via Zoom—please register!
