Named
to honor the African-American astronaut who perished with the
Challenger mission, this TRIO program assists eligible first-generation students from low-income families to prepare for and enter graduate programs
leading to the Ph. D.
Each year at UW-Eau Claire ten to twelve new undergraduate
McNair Scholars embark upon two years of intensive mentoring,
specialized curricular and co-curricular offerings, collaborative
research, and paid internships, all of which groom these candidates
for graduate school. Take a short tour for an introduction to the program. Participants include academically talented
low-income, first-generation students and students from groups
traditionally underrepresented in Ph. D. programs. UW-Eau Claire McNair Scholars
are chosen via faculty nomination.
The
application and nomination deadline for Cohort 10 McNair Scholars
was April 18, 2008. For information about eligibility in 2009-10, contact our office (Old Library 2134) at
836-4912 or quinnpa@uwec.edu. Download a faculty nomination form and student application form.
