Each year two McNair Graduate Fellowships will be offered to McNair Scholars who have been accepted with full support into Penn Ph.D. programs. The Provost's Office will provide a supplement of $1,000 (for the first year) to two McNair Fellows. The funds may be used for books, research, professional travel, or any other purpose that supports the students' education. Awards will be announced by mid April. Separate application for the McNair Graduate Scholarship is not necessary, but in order to guarantee consideration, eligible accepted students should contact Karen Lawrence, Assistant Director for Education, phone (215) 898-1842 or email lawrence@upenn.edu by April 1.
