Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program

"Whether or not you reach your goals in life depends entirely on how well you prepare for them and how badly you want them. You're eagles! Stretch your wings and fly to the sky!"
~ Ronald E. McNair

The McNair Scholars Program, named after the late Dr. Ronald E. McNair, an African American physicist and NASA astronaut who died in the 1986 Challenger explosion, is a federal TRIO program. The program is funded at 156 institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico by the U.S. Department of Education. It is designed to increase the number of students from underrepresented segments of society and disadvantaged backgrounds who have demonstrated strong, academic potential to go on to graduate study.

The CSULB McNair Scholars Program provides academic support services, research opportunities and involvement in scholarly activities to thirty low-income, first-generation and underrepresented students enrolled at CSULB and prepares them for doctoral studies by working close with them through their undergraduate requirements, encouraging their entrance into graduate programs and tracking their progress to successful completion of advanced degrees.
