Named
to honor the African-American astronaut who perished with the
Challenger mission, this TRIO program assists eligible low-income,
first-generation students 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. McNair Scholars
are chosen via faculty nomination.
The
application and nomination deadline for Cohort 10 McNair Scholars
is April 18, 2008. For information about the McNair
Program eligibility, contact our office (Old Library 2134) at
