McNair graduate receive their diplomas

Once a McNair Scholar, Always a McNair Scholar

We are very proud of our alumni Scholars and are continuously amazed at their achievements. As a graduate of NEIU, we understand that the possibilities before you are numerous, rewarding and challenging. Like you, Dr. Ronald E. McNair met challenges in his life with intelligence, perseverance, and a commitment to personal and academic excellence. We encourage you to keep pursuing graduate studies that culminate in a doctorate degree (Ph.D.) in your area of interest. To this end, and whenever possible, we are available for support and assistance. 

Giving Back

One of the most significant contributions you can make as a McNair alumnus is to keep in contact with us as you move on in the upcoming years. Please keep us informed of your professional and personal achievements through our alumni tracking forms

Some scholars have been generous enough to donate to our program. If you would like to donate you can go to the NEIU Foundation and make a donation specifically for the NEIU McNair Program.
