Thank you for visiting our website! The Early Identification Program encourages and assists UW undergraduates from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds to enter graduate school via undergraduate research, pre-graduate advising, seminars, and social activities. We also provide referral service for students interested in professional schools (Medicine, Pharmacy, Business…).
If you've visited our Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program you'll notice both EIP and McNair Program have three ultimate goals:
Enhance the probability of our undergraduate students getting 1) admitted and 2) funded to various Ph.D. programs, and ultimately have many more leaders via graduate education. This is usually accomplished via undergraduate research, workshops, seminars, and social activities.
Salient Features of Early Identification Program in relation to the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program:
You will notice in our current Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program, we can only serve25 students as it is dictated by the U.S. Department of Education. Whereas in EIP, we have the opportunity serve greater number of students with broader definition of the term "disadvantaged" (beyond first generation, low-income, and traditionally underrepresented).
Interested in affiliating?
We hope and trust so! It's as easy as making an appointment with an advisor.
EIP is open to all UW undergraduates.EIP is sponsored by The Office of Minority Affairs.
