Welcome to the University of Vermont McNair Scholars Program! Authorized by the United States Congress in 1989, the national program commemorates the accomplishments of the late Ronald McNair, PhD, NASA astronaut aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger. Introduced at UVM in 2004, the mission of the McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program is to work with undergraduates to increase the number of first generation, limited income and underrepresented minority students who earn a doctorate. The McNair Scholars Program provides students with critical academic, research and professional experiences to enhance their competitiveness in gaining admission to doctoral programs. Students with majors in computer science, education, engineering, humanities, math, natural and social sciences, nursing & allied health sciences, and statistics are encouraged to apply.
