MU was one of the original fourteen universities selected in 1989 to develop a program established by the U.S. Department of Education and named for astronaut and Challenger crew member Ronald E. McNair, The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program.

Upwards of 200 graduate schools waive application fees for McNair Scholars, and a growing number offer fellowships. These application incentives are excellent advantages of being a McNair Scholar.
