McNair Scholarship

The closing banquet closes out the McNair Summer Research Internship. McNair staff, faculty mentors, WVU administrators, families attend this event to celebrate the scholars' successful completion of the six-week internship.

Colloquial are opportunities for the McNair scholars to meet interesting people who have substantive knowledge in a particular field.

There are many McNair research conferences throughout the country every year. These conferences are opportunities for scholars to meet other researchers in their field, present their own research, and network with academic professionals.

McNair scholars present their research proposals at the symposium to close the six-week summer internship.

The McNair scholars attend campus visits in order to meet graduate faculty in their area of interest and to familiarize themselves with graduate school.

Cultural visits are important for broadening the world view of our McNair scholars and showing them that their horizons are infinite.

McNair Scholars Program held a graduation dinner on December 2008 for winter graduates.

Every year, the McNair Program seeks to recruit new and qualified scholars throughout the fall semester at different locations on campus.

Every year, McNair scholars attend a 6-week summer internship that is intensive and broad in what is taught: Research methods, writing skills, etiquette, GRE prep, graduation school application, and more.
