The Buffalo State McNair Scholars Program was re-funded with $1.2 million for five years by the U.S. Department of Education, Federal TRIO Programs. The McNair Scholars Program is designed to encourage students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue careers in college teaching as well as prepare for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. Under this project, 27 students are provided with a research mentor, stipends, GRE preparation, and guidance through the graduate school admissions process. Sandra D. Washington will continue as project director of the program.
