Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program:

It is designed to prepare undergraduate students for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair participants are either first-generation college students with financial need, or members of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate education and have demonstrated strong academic potential. The goal of the McNair Scholars Program is to increase graduate degree awards for students from underrepresented segments of society.
University of California Press FirstGen Program
UC Press’s FirstGen Program seeks to cultivate and support the work of first-generation scholars — those who are the first in their family to receive a college degree. As we know from research and the University of California’s own FirstGen program, first-gen students often confront a range of intersecting inequalities across race, class, immigration status, and more. First-gen scholars who have gone on to attain advanced degrees and become faculty must navigate additional barriers within the academy. The FirstGen Program aims to extend the UC’s efforts by more effectively cultivating, publishing, and promoting the work of first-gen scholars.
