Welcome to the Homepage of the McNair Scholars Program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (Brochure). This site is designed to acquaint you with the purpose, goals, services and activities of our program. In addition, many useful and related links are available on our resources page.

The goal of SIUC McNair Scholars Program is to prepare students from groups traditionally underrepresented in graduate education (African American, Latino/a, and Native American) and first generation low-income students for graduate school and careers in teaching and research. Why Do Research?
