The McNair Scholars Program at the University of Wyoming prepares undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in graduate education for success in doctoral degree programs.

One of the eight Federal TRIO Programs, the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program (its formal name) encourages participants to enroll in graduate programs and then tracks their progress through to the successful completion of advanced degrees. The goal is to increase the attainment of Ph.D. Degrees by students from underrepresented segments of society.

Eligibility:

~ Participants must be students from limited income families and be the first generation to complete a baccalaureate degree OR
~ Be a member of an ethnic group that includes Hispanics, Native Americans, or African American individuals
~ Students must have at least 60 credit hours with a minimum cumulative GPS of 3.0
~ Scholars must have a strong desire to earn a Ph.D.

These student research papers have been collected from past presentations, recognizing their scholarship and achievement at the University of Wyoming.
