Science Related Degrees: Improving the Retention of Women and Minorities through Research Experience, Mentoring and Financial Assistance

矿业（CSM）的科罗拉多学校致力于相信，妇女和少数民族可以作出独特的和实质性的贡献，科学相关领域。广泛的方案，如妇女在科学，工程和数学方案（WISEM）和少数民族工程方案（MEP），致力于提高妇女和少数民族在CSM的保留和进步。该项目为就读于科罗拉多矿业学校的有经济负担的女生和少数民族学生提供财政援助。我们相信，通过将已经为保留妇女和少数民族提供的高质量课程与适当的财政支持相结合，CSM的女性和少数民族人口将继续增加。此外，该项目还包括一个强大的研究和指导部分。指导部分旨在为奖学金获得者提供完成学位所需的指导和鼓励，而研究部分旨在进一步激发参与者对科学相关领域的兴趣。

The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) is dedicated to the belief that women and minorities can make unique and substantial contributions to science related fields. A broad range of programs, such as the Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics program (WISEM) and the Minority Engineering program (MEP), are dedicated to improving the retention and advancement of women and minorities at CSM. This project provides financial assistance for economically burdened female and minority students who are attending the Colorado School of Mines. It is our belief that by combining the high quality programs that are already offered for the retention of women and minorities with appropriate financial support, the female and minority population at CSM will continue to increase. Additionally, the project contains a strong research and mentoring component. The mentoring component is designed to provide the scholarship recipients with the guidance and encouragement necessary to complete their degrees while the research component is designed to further excite the participants' interest in science related fields.
