The Graduate School at Washington State University is pleased to provide graduate funding directed specifically to students who were McNair Scholars as undergraduates.
Funding
Ten McNair Graduate Scholar Awards have been established to assist in the recruitment of students who have completed McNair program requirements. These are half-time graduate assistantships provided to departments by the Graduate School for first-year funding of specific individuals.

Graduate student in American Studies, and McNair
Scholar, Leola Dublin, chose to enroll at
WSU after her visit to Pullman through the
Graduate School's McNair Scholars program.
She says, My visit introduced me to a school
that has gotten it right. WSU's commitment
to diversity is more than
rhetoric. |
Nominations
Prospective McNair Graduate Scholars do not apply for these positions. Consideration is given only to those nominated by the department or graduate program to which the former McNair Scholars applied. To aid this process McNair Scholars should inform the department or program that they may be eligible for this award.
Guarantee
The nomination and request must include a guarantee that the department will continue funding the student through completion of the degree program. The "guarantee" assumes the student is making progress toward completion.
McNair Responsibilities
The department in which the student is enrolled will determine duties associated with these positions. However, McNair Graduate Scholars will be invited to all McNair events and may be asked to meet periodically with currently enrolled WSU McNair students to share past and current experiences.
Contact
Request for information on these awards should be directed to Deidra Lockhart at the Graduate School via email: dlockhart@wsu.edu.
