Through the NSF Computer Science, Engineering and Math Scholarship program Mercy College is providing, each year, 15 talented, economically disadvantaged Computer Science majors, with the opportunity to pursue full time study towards their degree program. Mercy College is a Hispanic Serving Institution with a student body consisting of mainly first-generation college students, who are heads-of-households, often economically disadvantaged and juggling occupations with the pursuit of higher education. Through this program Mercy College is providing talented, economically disadvantaged students with scholarship support enabling them to lessen dependence on work to complete degree programs in computer science. The project is also achieving a secondary goal of increasing the number of students, underrepresented in computer science, that complete degree programs in this area and pursue graduate education in this field.

通过NSF计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金计划，Mercy College每年为15名有才华，经济上处于不利地位的计算机科学专业学生提供全日制学习学位课程的机会。 Mercy College是一所西班牙裔服务机构，其学生团体主要由第一代大学生组成，他们是户主，通常经济上处于不利地位，并在追求高等教育的同时兼顾职业。 通过该计划，Mercy College为有才华的经济困难学生提供奖学金支持，使他们能够减少对工作的依赖，以完成计算机科学学位课程。 该项目还实现了一个次要目标，即增加在计算机科学领域代表性不足的学生人数，完成这一领域的学位课程，并在这一领域进行研究生教育。
