TCU McNair Program

🎓✨ That’s a wrap on our 4th Annual Graduate School Bootcamp! Last week, students from OSU, McMurry, JCSU, ACU, CU Denver, XULA, ECU, NEIU AND TCU connected with graduate programs, explored funding opportunities, crafted their personal statements, toured the TCU campus, and experienced the vibrant culture of Fort Worth at our local Stockyards! A huge thank you to all of the graduate programs that participated in this year’s Graduate School Fair and to our returning guest speaker, Dr. Justin Grimes, for sharing his expertise and inspiring the next generation of scholars.
Here’s to future graduate students and all the exciting opportunities ahead! 🚀💜

📚We’re excited to welcome back TCU McNair alum and former Scholar, Caylin Moore, for our first summer workshop! Come hear about his journey to graduate school, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and how he built his own success story!

📖 The first 25 students will receive a FREE copy of his new book! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and get inspired. We hope to see y’all on June 8th! 🎉

A look back at our McNair Scholar Senior Recognition Lunch! 🎓✨

We’re so proud to celebrate our seniors who’ve worked tirelessly toward their goals and are graduating this weekend. Let’s give a huge congratulations to our McNair Scholars Class of 2026 and all the amazing things they continue to accomplish!

April is a BIG month for research 🔬✨

Our McNair Scholars have been busy presenting their work all across Texas, and we couldn’t be more excited to highlight just a few moments from the past two weeks! From sharing innovative ideas to engaging with other scholars, they continue to show up and represent with excellence.

These snapshots are only a glimpse as our Scholars are constantly on the move and making an impact through their research. The future of academia is looking bright, and they’re leading the way. 🎓🌟

Huge shoutout to Sharon. for sharing such thoughtful insights on navigating the transition from undergrad during a gap year! Taking time after graduation can feel uncertain, but hearing real, relatable experiences like this makes the journey feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more intentional.

So grateful for voices like this that keep it real and encouraging for others in the same season 💜
