The summer research internship exposed me to the rigors of conducting original research and gave me a competitive advantage in my doctoral program.

I was a Chemistry major filled with enthusiasm and curiosity but unsure of where to direct my passion. The McNair Scholars Program gave me direction.

The McNair Scholars Program has helped me conduct research and find out more not only about graduate school but also my identity as an academic.

As a first-generation student, the program helped me develop into a fully competent researcher with strong goals and plans for graduate school.

I became a competitive applicant to top Aerospace Engineering graduate programs after GRE classes, conference travel, and application support.
