McNair Scholars Program

[Twentysix]

Has anyone on Bisonville been a McNair scholar?

I am looking for details from someone who was a participant.

A PM would be appropriate.

I take it BV has none.

One of my friends was a McNair Scholar like 3 years ago. The way I understand it is its for black students that are interested in science. I think he did bio chem research as a McNair scholar.

It's for students from underrepresented backgrounds: minorities, low-income, and first generation students.

I got a lot of mailers from NDSU about it when I was an undergrad which made no sense because I wasn't a member of any of those groups.

Yeah, thats not the information I was looking for, as some of the posted info is wrong.

I am looking for things like what are the stipends, what are the endgame benefits, how do they help (create) your research interest, how much time is invested into it per semester.

I can read a website...The website doesn't go into detail in any of these area's(tony's post answers partially the stipend question). I would either be entering it as History research or Archaeology research.

Since you posted you have a friend who was one, perhaps he could go into detail in a PM.

It looks like implementation varies from school to school. Here's what I found for NDSU:

That answers enough of it, I got into contact with the rep from NDSU. So I don't need second hand bisonville info anymore

Thanks though tony.

So does this mean that somebody I'll be changing your username to Doctor26?
