McNair Scholars Program

Each year, up to 30 McNair Scholars are selected to participate in the program, which takes place throughout the Spring semester and subsequent Summer. These 30 students are given a generous stipend, support from faculty mentors and the McNair Staff, and the opportunity to pioneer their own research. Scholars are encouraged to undertake research that relates to their lived experiences, and they share this research by presenting at our National Ronald E. McNair Scholars Symposium and publishing in The Berkeley McNair Research Journal. The Berkeley McNair Program vehemently believes that research is not divorced from the self but comes from the ways we move through and access the world.
