McNair Scholars Program
Designed Specifically for STEM Majors
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program and named it in honor of Dr. Ronald McNair, an African American astronaut. He died in the 1986 Challenger explosion.
The program has both a Spelman and Morehouse Scholars Program that encourages low-income and first-generation college students and students from historically underrepresented ethnic groups to expand their educational opportunities by enrolling in a Ph.D. program and ultimately pursuing an academic career. -
Educational Talent Search Program
The Educational Talent Search Program assists youth with academic potential.
The Morehouse College Educational Talent Search Program assists youth with academic potential. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, participants must be first-generation (i.e., neither parent graduated from college) and from a federally eligible low-income household. We provide academic, career, and financial counseling to our students and equip them with the tools and resources to graduate from high school and complete their postsecondary education. Talent Search encourages those who have not completed educational programs at the secondary or postsecondary level to enter or reenter and graduate. We also serve military veterans. -
Upward Bound Programs

Upward Bound offers essential assistance to students as they prepare for college entrance, fostering success in their precollege performance and higher education endeavors.
The program serves high school students from low-income families and those whose parents lack a bachelor's degree. Its primary objective is to enhance secondary education completion and enrollment, as well as graduation rates in postsecondary institutions for participants.
