We link academic excellence and social diversity to transform personal and academic goals into a successful future.
Our Mission is Simple
Our mission is to select the best students and provide them every opportunity to realize their potential and fulfill their dreams. The best way to reach that goal is simple: select exceptional faculty mentors, provide outstanding academic support, and create graduate education opportunities so that limitation has no place.
This ideal is an essential part of the way we do business at the McNair Scholars Program. Our commitment to this ideal is renewed every day.
It is a commitment expressed in the diversity of the McNair students. Indeed, we are proud of our students’ diverse academic interests, career aspirations, and ethnic and cultural backgrounds. As Malcolm X once said, “The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” Here at the McNair Scholars Program, the future belongs to our students.
