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/course work(s), 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.
