Thursday, October 20th, 2022
The McNair Scholars Program is one of seven federal TRIO programs, targeted to serve and assist income-eligible students, first-generation college students and individuals with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.
“Our project activities will afford McNair participants the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research, introduce them to doctoral-level expectations, work hand-in-hand with faculty mentors, and help pave the way for an inclusive and richly diverse academic community in the future,” said Issac Taylor, Ed.S., director of the Ronald E. McNair Program and principal investigator for the grant.
Georgia Southern is one of 189 national grantees and one of five grantees in the state of Georgia to receive funding.
