About the McNair Scholars ProgramThe Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program recognizes that the diversity of researchers is an integral component of scholastic excellence. It seeks to produce a new generation of scholars and researchers that will more accurately reflect the growing diversity in intellectual perspectives, life experiences, and cultures represented in academia. The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded program (one of the TRIO Programs funded by the Department of Education) mandated by Congress. The goal of the program is to increase the number of students in doctoral degree programs who are low-income and first-generation undergraduates or students who come from groups underrepresented in graduate education, particularly African American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Natives. The McNair Scholars Program will serve 25 students each. An integral component of the program is the Summer Research Internship at UT Austin. Each summer, 15 students will be selected for this ten-week paid internship. Program participants must be committed to enrolling in graduate programs. The program will track progress towards the successful completion of a doctoral degree. **May 1, 2012 is the deadline for the application**
