Apply to be a McNair Scholar

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Diallo, Astou

Apply to be a McNair Scholar!

McNair Scholars are STEM majors who are first-generation college students, from low socioeconomic households, and/or self-identify as underrepresented racial or ethnic groups in higher education.

The McNair scholars program aims to provide year-round, academic and holistic support to help students establish undergraduate research projects early in their undergraduate career. Their ultimate goals are to equip students with the tools to be competitively considered for graduate school admission, and to ensure retention and graduation from UConn.

The application deadline is Wednesday, October 14th at 12:00pm. For more information visit here.
