McNair Scholars Program
We are pleased to announce that UW-La Crosse has been awarded a grant for the implementation of the McNair Scholars program. This program is a federal TRIO program that prepares 1st-generation college students from low-income families and underrepresented students for the rigors of graduate school by involving them in research and other scholarly activities. Students who have a strong academic background and a clear interest in graduate studies are selected. Students from any major are encouraged to apply.
