The UT McNair Scholars Program is currently recruiting new students for the Fall 2014 semester. McNair Scholars is a federally funded program under the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement with the goal of increasing the number of students earning doctoral degrees who are both low-income and first-generation and/or traditionally underrepresented in graduate education.
All McNair Scholars obtain a faculty mentor who will help them identify a research topic and develop a research project, while at the same time actively engaging in program workshops, GRE prep, seminars, research conferences, and individual and academic advising. Students will also be eligible for a $1,000 scholarship each semester they are active in the program and a stipend of up to $2,600 when they participate in the Summer Research Institute.
Our application deadline is Friday, April 4th, 2014. Information sessions will be taking place on Tuesday, February 25th from 6:00–7:00 pm in SSB 3.406 and March 18th from 6:00-7:00 pm in the SSB-Glenn Maloney Room. More information and the application can be found at www.utmcnairscholars.com.
