Alumni Update Page

If you are a UNM McNair or ROP Alumni we would like to get an update from you. Every year the U.S. Department of Education and the State of New Mexico requires us to report on the academic progress of all of our former participants. Your participation enables us to remain in compliance with our grant obligations and to continue to offer opportunities to current & future UNM students.  Thank you very much for taking the time to update your information by clicking on the following link: Alumni Update Link

Graduate School Application Fee Waiver Request Form for Alumni

Neither McNair nor ROP can pay for graduate school application fees but we are able to provide a form that certifies you participated with McNair or ROP and completed the program in good standing (completed all research requirements, etc.)

You can then use the "certification of participation and request for admission application fee waiver" form in order to secure application fee waivers from schools that waive fees for McNair Scholars (or similar scholars). If you received one when you were with the program you can re-use it as needed and there is no need to request another. However, if you lost your form, click on the link below to fill out the form and email mcnair@unm.edu to let us know you are requesting the form: https://esurvey.unm.edu/opinio/s?s=104308
