The Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program creates a bridge to graduate education for undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The program aims to increase the number of students from underrepresented segments of society who earn their Ph.D.
The McNair Scholars Program supports eligible undergraduates in acquiring the knowledge, skills and capacities they need to successfully navigate Ph.D. studies. McNair scholars join a community of peers who take part in research immersion and other scholarly activities.
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education TRIO grant and accepts first-generation college students from low-income circumstances and underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and math majors. UW–Madison serves 28 McNair scholars each year.
