Augsburg receives $760,000 for McNair Achievement Program

Augsburg has received a four-year grant of $760,000 from the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program of the U.S. Department of Education. It will fund a program for academically-qualified students who are first in their family to graduate from college, are from families with low incomes or who are underrepresented in doctoral programs. Vicki Littlefield, assistant professor of psychology, has been named director of Augsburg's McNair grant program.

The College will provide research experience with mentor faculty, teaching mentorships and assistance in applying for admission and financial aid for doctoral programs. Augsburg is one of three institutions in Minnesota to receive a McNair Program grant.
