Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics Scholarship Program

该提案要求资助40名高能力和经济需要的学生，每年提供2，500美元的奖学金，为期两年，以攻读计算机科学，工程和数学（CSEM）。该方案的目标是为这些来自低收入家庭的学生提供学习机会，否则他们可能无法实现这些目标，通过学习支持课程提供更好的教育，并通过降低就业负担提高他们的留存率。一个由加州州立大学，贝克斯菲尔德（CSEF）的CSEM部门的关键人员组成的委员会将忽略这个项目，并制定学术支持结构，这是必要的，以鼓励学生在他们选择的领域毕业或转移到工程学院。

This proposal requests funding to support 40 students of high ability and financial need with a $2,500 scholarship award per year for two years to pursue studies in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (CSEM). The objective of the program is to provide academic opportunities to these students, coming from low-income families, who otherwise might not be able to achieve these goals, to provide an improved education with academic support courses, and improve their retention rate by lowering their employment load. A committee of key personnel from the CSEM departments at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) will overlook this program and develop the academic support structure, which is necessary to provide encouragement to the students as they move towards graduation in their chosen fields or towards transfer to Engineering School.
