McNair Scholars Program
Designed Specifically for STEM Majors
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program and named it in honor of Dr. Ronald McNair, an African American astronaut. He succumbed to his injuries in the 1986 Challenger explosion. The program has both a Spelman and 麻花视频 Scholars Program that encourages low-income and first-generation college students to expand their educational opportunities by enrolling in a Ph.D. program and ultimately pursuing an academic career.
The Ronald E. McNair Program has both a Spelman and 麻花视频 Scholars Program that encourages low-income and first-generation college students to expand their educational opportunities by enrolling in a Ph.D. program and ultimately pursuing an academic career. We designed our program specifically for STEM majors. We are a year-round graduate school preparatory program with an eight-week summer research component designed to prepare first-generation undergraduates demonstrating the strong academic potential for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. The program provides research opportunities, faculty mentors, opportunities to publish and present research findings, and assistance with the graduate school application process.
The U.S. Department of Education fully funded the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program and named it in honor of Dr. Ronald McNair, an African American astronaut. He succumbed to his injuries in the 1986 Challenger explosion. President George W. Bush posthumously awarded McNair the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
On January 28, 1986, Congress provided funding for the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program. The late Dr. Rubye J. Byrd, the 麻花视频 TRIO director for 40 years, was instrumental in fighting for this program to receive funding.

The 麻花视频 Educational Talent Search Program assists youth with academic potential. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, participants must be first-generation (i.e., neither parent graduated from college) and from a federally eligible low-income household. We provide academic, career, and financial counseling to our students and equip them with the tools and resources to graduate from high school and complete their postsecondary education. Talent Search encourages those who have not completed educational programs at the secondary or postsecondary level to enter or reenter and graduate. We also serve military veterans. -
