UNT TRiO Programs

Discover the Power of Ideas

Through Undergraduate Research

The McNair Scholars Program is a highly competitive program funded by the U.S. Department of Education to prepare university juniors and seniors who are low-income, first generation, and/or underrepresented in graduate education for doctoral education.  This rigorous program assists students in the attainment of their educational and personal goals through participation in research and other academic/scholarly activities.

UNT TRiO Programs (of which the McNair Scholars Program is a part) are integrated into the Division of Enrollment Management within Academic Affairs. Administrative oversight for the programs is the responsability of the Director of Enrollment Management Initiatives who reports directly to the Vice Provost for Enrollment.
