McNair Scholars Program

Since November of 1991, the purpose of the East Central University McNair Scholars Program has been to prepare low income, first generation college students, and students from other groups underrepresented in graduate education, for doctoral study. The McNair Scholars Program honors the memory of Dr. Ronald E. McNair, an astronaut who lost his life in the Challenger Shuttle accident on January 28, 1986. The McNair Program is a federal TRIO grant program, funded by the United States Department of Education.
