Description

The McNair Scholars Program is designed to help prepare undergraduate students from disadvantaged backgrounds for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair participants are either first-generation college students with financial needs or members of a traditionally underrepresented group in graduate education. Students must have a strong interest in obtaining a graduate degree in a field that will lead to a career in teaching, research, or administration on a college or university campus. (Programs that lead to law degrees (JD), medical degrees (MD), veterinary degrees (DVM), or pharmacy degrees (Pharm D) are not eligible.) Students must have at least one year remaining before graduation from UNR. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
