The Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program is a national program funded by the United States Department of Education that aims to increase the number of historically underrepresented students in graduate school, doctoral programs, and the professoriate. The McNair Program receives $231,000 per year to support 26 talented junior and senior students.

Through the McNair Scholars Program, SUNY Oswego seeks to promote graduate study to those from groups traditionally underrepresented at the post-baccalaureate level. The program encourages its scholars to pursue careers in academia, specifically those involving teaching and research. This is achieved by preparing eligible students through an extensive and in-depth research project and other scholarly activities designed to groom scholars for graduate study.
