Coming soon to Marian University

TRiO Day Celebration

Marian University TRiO programs – Student Support Services (SSS) and McNair Scholars Program – will   participate in National TRiO Day on Monday, February 28, 2011. Historically, the TRiO Day Celebration is a nationwide community service initiative.  In honor of this special day, these two programs will conduct a series of activities that will bring more awareness of TRiO services available to Marian University students.

TRiO programs are funded through the U.S. Department of Education to serve students who meet one or more of the eligibility criteria: first-generation, low-income, documented disability and/or a member of a group underrepresented in graduate education. They were originally established by the federal government in 1965 to ensure equal educational opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, ethnic background, or economic circumstance.

At this point, TRiO Programs at Marian University include Student Support Services (SSS) and the McNair Scholars Program.

Thanks for your patience.

WHAT DO MCNAIR SCHOLARS DO?

Engage in Research. Following their first year in the program, students participate in the McNair Summer Research Experience during which they conduct individual research projects, under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Quality research projects provide a realistic picture of graduate school scholarship, while also preparing students for the doctoral school climate.

Develop and deliver professional research presentations. McNair Scholars present their research at selected research symposia. In addition, students have the opportunity to travel to professional conferences nationwide and to network with faculty and graduate students through membership in professional organizations.

Attend graduate school preparation seminars and workshops. Students must attend graduate school seminars and/or workshops that focus on specific topics related to the graduate school application process, including how to identify graduate programs that “fit” their needs and interests, preparing for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and how to navigate graduate school.

Visit graduate schools and meet with graduate faculty members.  Students can receive funding for travel to graduate schools to learn more about the institution and department as they make their final decision.
