The UCLA McNair Research Scholars Program is a two-year research-based intensive program that prepares undergraduate students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. to apply to and excel in the best graduate school programs in the country. McNair students are low income, first generation students who are also members of groups underrepresented in graduate education. The program particularly attracts young scholars who are committed to social change and who use scholarship and research as a means to achieve social justice.
