Since 2003, the 麦克奈尔学者计划 has proudly and consistently attracted the best and brightest scholars who have taken full advantage of everything that the program has to offer. Numerous program alumni have gone on to be awarded fellowships and to be accepted into graduate programs across the United States where they have pursued and achieved their goals in doctoral, professional, 以及其他研究生项目. Every year a new cohort is inducted into our program to continue the proud McNair Scholars tradition.

The goal of the 麦克奈尔学者计划 is to increase the attainment of doctoral degrees by students who come from underrepresented segments of society, and there is no question that the program is successful in fulfilling its mission to prepare participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. Participants in the 麦克奈尔学者计划 come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated strong academic potential. 大多数是低收入家庭和第一代大学生.  他们在追求博士学位的目标上团结一致.

该项目为教师主导的研究提供资金，其中包括对学者的奖励. In addition, 麦克奈尔学院的学者可以通过访问他们感兴趣的研究生院而受益, 学术咨询, 课程辅导, 参加专业会议, 准备GRE考试, 并在研究生院选择和申请过程中获得建议和帮助.

麦克奈尔学者项目是由美国政府资助的.S. 教育部和St. 365比分网电竞.

2023-2024年麦克奈尔学者项目的申请现已截止.

罗纳德·欧文·麦克奈尔1950年10月21日出生在南卡罗来纳州的莱克城. 他梦想成为一名科学家. 尽管他因为出生在种族隔离的环境中而面临挑战, his hard work and persistence paid off: He was valedictorian of his high school graduating class and was accepted by North Carolina A&T University. 1971年，他获得物理学学士学位. 他继续在麻省理工学院(MIT)读研究生，并获得了博士学位.D. 1976年在量子电子学和激光技术方面. 他的成就包括被任命为总统学者, 福特基金会研究员, 国家奖学金研究员, 北约成员, 欧米伽·普赛·菲协会年度学者奖得主, 及杰出校友奖. 他也是一个有成就的萨克斯管演奏家，并持有空手道黑带五度.

在麻省理工学院期间. McNair contributed to some of the earliest development of chemical HF/DF and high-pressure CO lasers. His later experiments and theoretical analyses added to the understanding and applications for highly excited polyatomic molecules.  In 1975, 他在法国物理理论学院跟随该领域的专家学习激光物理, Les Houches, France. He published several papers about lasers and molecular spectroscopy and presented his findings at numerous conferences in the United States and abroad.  从麻省理工学院毕业后, 他在马里布的休斯研究实验室担任物理学家, California, where he worked on the developing lasers for isotope separation and photochemistry using non-linear interactions in low-temperature liquids and optical pumping techniques. He also conducted research on electro-optic laser modulation for satellite-to-satellite space communications, 超高速红外探测器的建设, 紫外大气遥感, 以及武术的科学基础.

1978年1月，美国国家航空航天局选择了. 麦克奈尔作为宇航员候选人. 经过一年的训练, he was qualified as a mission specialist astronaut and eligible for assignments on Space Shuttle flights. 1984年2月3日，他的第一次任务从佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心发射升空. His first flight successfully accomplished the proper shuttle deployment of two Hughes 376 communications satellites.

Dr. 麦克奈尔还承担了其他责任:德国SPAS-01卫星, 声学悬浮和化学分离实验, 360度电影拍摄, 五个度假特色菜, 以及其他中层实验. The Challenger concluded its mission in the first landing on the runway at Kennedy Space Center on February 11, 1984, and Dr. 麦克奈尔在太空中停留了191个小时.

博士之后不久. 麦克奈尔的死, members of the United States Congress named a federal grant program in his honor to recognize his remarkable academic and professional achievements and to encourage low-income, first-generation college students and/or traditionally underrepresented in graduate education to pursue doctoral study. The program serves as a living memorial to honor a man who conquered the obstacles of racial segregation and poverty to earn a Ph.D. 在物理和实现他的梦想，成为一名宇航员. Dr. 麦克奈尔的一生体现了他的信念:“真正的勇气来自持久。, persevering, 做好准备，相信自己."
