Bowie State University’s Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program (the McNair Scholars Program) is designed to prepare undergraduate students for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair participants are either first-generation college students with financial need, or members of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate education and have demonstrated strong academic potential. The goal of the McNair Scholars Program is to increase graduate degree awards for students from underrepresented segments of society.

Throughout the academic year, our participants benefit from the following:

Working one-on-one with a faculty mentor
Help with graduate school application process
Free or reduced fee waivers when applying to select graduate schools
Opportunity to network with other undergraduates from across the United States
Opportunities to present research at McNair research conferences
Opportunities to attend graduate school visits
Local visits to significant educational, research, and cultural institutions
