UCF to offer McNair scholarships - 2004-01-14 - Orlando Business Journal: "A total of 25 UCF students will be selected as Ronald E. McNair Scholars later this month.

Under the terms of the scholarship, the students will be assigned to individual faculty mentors and many will receive $2,800 stipends to help with summer research projects. Also, they will be able to take a research-related course one summer for free.




The idea behind the scholarships, named after shuttle astronaut Ronald E. McNair, is to increase the number of minority students who earn doctoral degrees. "
