McNair post-baccalaureate Achievement Program is 100% federally-funded, and is administered to Washington State University through The Graduate School. The program is one of several TRIO programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education suporting the academic achievement of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education. There are more than 200 colleges and universities administering McNair programs.
