The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program is a federally-funded TRIO program dedicated to preparing high-achieving, first-generation, low-income, and/or underrepresented students for doctoral studies.

At McNair, you get:

  • Support in securing faculty-mentored research opportunities and stipends

  • Preparation for GRE exams and graduate school applications

  • Travel to present research at conferences and visit grad schools

  • Holistic, personal advising and mentorship

Come find out if you're eligible and how to apply for this transformative experience at UMBC!
Current GPN Retrievers interested in applying to be a McNair Scholar should also attend one of these open house sessions!



Please note that all UMBC students are eligible to apply for our affiliate network, the Retriever Grad Prep Network (RGPN) and applications are accepted on a rolling basis! You can get involved as soon as you'd like. (https://mcnair.umbc.edu/rgpn/)
