Augsburg College鈥檚 McNair Scholars Program recently received a renewal grant for five years. The total award of $1.1 million from the U.S. Department of Education will provide $220,000 per year from 2012 to 2017.

The McNair Scholars Program prepares first-generation, low income, and underrepresented students for doctoral studies. This August, 12 Auggies traveled to the University of California, Berkeley for the 20th Annual McNair Scholars Symposium.
