Boise State McNair Scholars Program Objectives

The Boise State McNair Scholars Program has established several key objectives in order to achieve its mission and maintain its vision:

To serve twenty-five (25) eligible and qualified students each year as McNair Scholars, preparing them for graduate studies with skills, knowledge and dispositions necessary for later success in doctoral programs.
To retain and graduate each Scholar from Boise State within 3 years of program entry.
To provide all McNair Scholars the opportunity to engage in faculty-directed research experiences, supported by the Summer Research Fellowship (up to $2800) and other scholarly experiences that impact their preparation for doctoral studies.
To assist all McNair Scholars in producing a “publishable-quality” paper from the summer research project which s/he will present at professional conferences under the guidance of his/her Faculty Mentor.
To prepare and support Scholars for admission and enrollment into a post-baccalaureate program immediately after earning their bachelor’s degree.
