The McNair Scholars Program invites applications from Trinity University students representing all undergraduate majors. Students can meet the eligibility requirements for the program in one of two ways:

1. First generation, low-income: Students whose parents or guardians did not receive a bachelor’s degree (or if a student lived with just one parent, if that parent did not receive a bachelor’s degree) and who meet specific family income requirements are eligible for the program. To find out if your family’s taxable income level qualifies, please click here.

2. Historically underrepresented groups: Students who belong to a group historically underrepresented in higher education are eligible for the program. This includes African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans/Alaskan Natives, and Pacific Islanders/Hawaiian Natives.

To see if you may be eligible for the McNair Scholars Program, please contact the Program Assistant Director, Teresa York, at tyork@trinity.edu
