To adapt to evolving program and student needs, we are also implementing a new onboarding initiative alongside our regular recruitment efforts. We are excited to announce a special recruitment opportunity for the 2024-2025 academic year: this year only, the program is seeking five current juniors for immediate admission.   

The McNair Scholars Program provides invaluable opportunities to prepare underrepresented students for graduate school. Selected scholars will receive research funding, faculty mentorship, and access to targeted professional development aimed at making them highly competitive candidates for research-based graduate programs. Don’t miss this unique chance to gain the skills and support needed to excel in graduate education. Applications are open now, and juniors from all disciplines are encouraged to apply.
