HON Partner Program: McNair

Are you thinking about pursuing Graduate school?  The McNair scholars program might be a good fit for you!  

The McNair program is a support system for undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds to help prepare for graduate school.  Each McNair student receives individual support from staff in preparing, conducting, and completing research; identifying and applying to graduate programs; and finding funding for graduate school.

Along with individualized support, Honors students will also receive one honors point for participating in the program.  And many Honors students also find a way to combine their McNair research with their Honors project.

Learn more about the McNair Scholars Program and find out if you are eligible to apply.
