The Departments of Computer Science, and Mathematics and Statistics and the College of Engineering, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, joins the National Science Foundation's CSEM Scholarship Program to address: 1) the national shortage of engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists, and 2) the under-representation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in those disciplines. The UMass plan will increase the number of baccalaureate degrees in CSEM fields by recruiting fifty students for program participation generally during their junior and senior years. Particular attention will be paid to the recruitment of women, minorities and persons with disabilities. Talented, low-income students will be recruited from the community college transfer population and from upper-class students who have a reasonable expectation of graduating within two years (40 total). The UMass plan also provides a pipeline for the future by funding ten economically disadvantaged freshmen through University resources. The goal of recruiting, retaining and graduating 50 students will be accomplished through a faculty- driven, comprehensive program based on current research and best practices combining 1) recruitment, 2) financial support, 3) a carefully designed required course, 4) a special seminar activity and 5) academic and personal support facilities. All CSEMS program activities will be professionally evaluated.

马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学的计算机科学系、数学和统计系以及工程学院加入了国家科学基金会的CSEM奖学金计划，以解决：1）全国工程师、数学家和计算机科学家短缺的问题，2）妇女、少数民族和残疾人在这些学科中代表性不足的问题。麻省大学的计划将增加CSEM领域的学士学位数量，招募50名学生参加大三和大四的课程。将特别注意征聘妇女、少数民族和残疾人。有才华的低收入家庭学生将从社区学院的转学生和有合理期望在两年内毕业的上流社会学生中招募（共40名）。麻省大学的计划还通过大学资源资助10名经济上处于不利地位的新生，为未来提供了一个管道。招聘，保留和毕业50名学生的目标将通过教师驱动的，基于当前的研究和最佳实践相结合的综合方案来完成1）招聘，2）财政支持，3）精心设计的必修课程，4）特殊的研讨会活动和5）学术和个人支持设施。所有CSEMS计划活动将进行专业评估。
