Old Dominion University has developed a scholarship program that is providing aid to capable, financially-disadvantaged students to complete the last two years of a Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science, Engineering, Engineering Technology, or Mathematics (NSF designated CSEM areas). Old Dominion University is an ideal candidate for such a program. The institution already has strong, active, and collaborative academic programs in each of the CSEM areas. The university has a diverse body of students, including a large percentage of women and minorities, and a large percentage of Pell eligible students. The university also has very active interactions with community colleges in the state, and high transfer enrollments from these schools. Candidate students in the CSEM areas are identified for scholarship consideration both from existing students and from community college students. The applications of these students, include not only prior academic performance, but also an essay describing career goals and letters of reference, are evaluated by a scholarship committee. The final step in the selection process is a formal interview of each candidate on campus. The scholarship awardees are then mentored and helped by faculty at Old Dominion University, further increasing the likelihood of successful graduation within two years. The CSEM scholarship has the immediate effect of improving the nation's technology workforce.

老道明大学制定了一项奖学金计划，为有能力，经济困难的学生提供帮助，以完成计算机科学，工程，工程技术或数学（NSF指定的CSEM领域）的最后两年理学学士课程。老道明大学是这样一个项目的理想候选人。该机构已经在CSEM的每个领域拥有强大，活跃和协作的学术课程。该大学拥有多元化的学生群体，包括很大比例的女性和少数民族，以及很大比例的佩尔合格学生。该大学还与该州的社区学院有着非常积极的互动，这些学校的转学入学率很高。CSEM领域的候选学生将从现有学生和社区大学学生中获得奖学金。这些学生的申请，不仅包括之前的学习成绩，还包括描述职业目标的论文和推荐信，由奖学金委员会评估。选拔过程的最后一步是对每位候选人进行正式的校园面试。奖学金获得者将得到老道明大学教师的指导和帮助，进一步提高两年内成功毕业的可能性。CSEM奖学金对提高国家的技术劳动力具有立竿见影的效果。
