First Generation Pre-Doctoral Scholars Fund: Gifts to this fund support programming and events associated with the McNair Scholars Program. The UConn McNair Scholars Program is a federally-funded TRIO program for students who are from low-income backgrounds and the first in their families to attend college. McNair Scholars are offered a comprehensive suite of experiences designed to equip them with skills needed for research-centric graduate study. Participants receive critical support from the McNair Scholars Program staff and their faculty and graduate student mentors while they gain the competitive edge that earns them admission to PhD programs of study.
Any additional funds will be used for the general activities of the group.
