Sponsorship Opportunities

The University of Maryland’s National Conference for McNair Scholars and Undergraduate Research is an academic forum that attracts over 400 undergraduate student researchers, faculty, graduate school recruiters, and businesses from across the country.
Partnering with the McNair Scholars Program is positioned as a strategic initiative to enhance business visibility and efforts to strengthen communities through education.

The Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program is a 501(c)(3) Department of Education funded program that serves high academic achievers who are low- income, first generation students, or students who are traditionally underrepresented in graduate school. The mission of the McNair Scholars Program is to prepare and assist its Scholars in matriculating into doctoral programs and earning Ph.D.s
