Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program

Welcome to the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program

Welcome to the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Scholars Program—a U.S. Department of Education funded TRIO program.  This program is for first-generation and low-income undergraduates and/OR students underrepresented in doctoral programs (Black/African American, Latino/a/x/Hispanic, Native American and Pacific Islander).

The McNair Scholars Program prepares students for graduate studies by providing opportunities to define goals, engage in research, and develop the skill, knowledge, and student/faculty mentoring relationship critical to success. 

McNair Scholars Staff work closely with McNair Scholars participants as they complete their undergraduate requirements to encourage them to enroll in graduate programs and to track their progress through to the successful completion of advanced degrees.

The McNair Scholars Program is now accepting applications for the 2024 cohort of scholars. 

Please contact Amanda Anastasia Paniagua at apaniag@bgsu.edu to express your interest in applying.
