Retriever Graduate Preparation Network (RGPN) is an opportunity for students who are interested in post-baccalaureate studies to network with a community of supporters and scholars. There are different circles of engagement [LINK], including Explorers, Navigators, Trailblazers, and Scholars (by invitation only), to which students can apply based on their level of involvement in the program, each with its own requirements and benefits.
It is said that a rising tide lifts all ships, and we believe that this program can help do just that by expanding the reach of McNair and all the resources it has to offer!
Here you can find the application [LINK], information document [LINK], and flyer [LINK] with all the necessary information on RGPN.
We review our applications for RGPN on the 15th of each month on a rolling basis. You’ll hear from McNair staff in the week following the applica
tion submission deadline for the month. If you have any questions for us, you can contact mcnairs@umbc.edu.
We look forward to having you join our McNair & RGPN community! 
Application for the Retriever Graduate Preparation Network (RGPN) is open for all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University’s nondiscrimination policy.
