The McNair Scholars program is currently recruiting and accepting new students for the Fall 2016 semester.  Federally funded, the McNair Scholars program provides its participants with in-depth, rigorous preparation for doctoral level graduate work.

All McNair Scholars obtain a faculty mentor, work on an independent research project, have opportunities to travel and present their research, receive free GRE prep (worth $2,000), and are eligible for up to $5,500 for participating.

For Faculty and advisors in particular, if you have noticed students who show promise or interest in doing research, the McNair program could be a perfect way to support them to work with you and to pursue a research career.

The program is open to all majors/disciplines. We are particularly interested in undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing doctoral degrees who are low-income, first-generation, and/or traditionally underrepresented in graduate education. 

Our application deadline is Sunday, April 10, 2016, at 11:59 PM CST. More information and the application can be found at www.utmcnairscholars.org

We will also be holding three information sessions about the McNair Scholars Program:

Wednesday, Mach 23, 6-7 PM in SAC 1.118
