NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

这份提交给美国国家科学基金会的提案要求拨款来管理布里瓦德社区学院（BCC）的计算机科学、工程和数学奖学金（cems）项目。该计划为在BCC攻读计算机科学学士学位的有才华的低收入学生提供奖学金。cems计划通过为学生提供经济，学术和社会支持来鼓励成就和完成学位，从而满足BCC全体学生的需求。在为期两年的持续资助中，该计划每年的三个目标是：1)通过向符合条件的学生提供66个32学分的学费减免，使低收入学生的CISA和CPRA项目的A.S.学位完成率提高20%。2)提高低收入CISA和CPRA学生的转学率10%，通过提供专业导师全年协助cems计划学生。3)通过建立CSEM奖学金俱乐部，使CSEM学生对学术支持的满意度达到100%。该项目将增加低收入家庭学生在这个传统上代表性不足的领域的成功。该项目还将加强学院与计算机科学行业之间的合作关系。Steve B. Johnson，布里瓦德社区学院棕榈湾校区计算机科学系系主任，是cems项目的首席研究员/奖学金协调员。约翰逊先生将确保项目目标的实现，并及时向国家科学基金会提交进度报告。该提案总共要求218 380美元（或每年109 190美元）。其中90%将用于奖学金；10%用于行政和学生支持基础设施费用。

This proposal to the National Science Foundation requests a grant to administer The Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) Program at Brevard Community College (BCC). This program supports scholarships for talented, low-income students seeking A.S. degrees in computer science at BCC. The CSEMS Program addresses the needs of the whole student at BCC by providing the student with financial, academic, and social support to encourage achievement and completion of the degree. The program's three objectives for each year of the two-year continuing grant are: 1) To increase by 20% completion of the A.S. degree in CISA and CPRA programs by low-income students, through providing 66 awards of 32 credits tuition waiver to eligible students. 2) To increase by 10% transfer rate to higher education by low-income CISA and CPRA students, through providing a professional tutor to assist CSEMS Program students year-round.3) To obtain 100% CSEMS student satisfaction with academic support, through establishment of a CSEM Scholarship Club.The program will increase the success of low-income students in a field where they are traditionally underrepresented. The program will also create strengthened partnerships between the College and the computer science industry.Mr. Steve B. Johnson, Department Chair of the Computer Science Department at Brevard Community College Palm Bay Campus, is the Principal Investigator/Scholarship Coordinator for the CSEMS Program. Mr. Johnson will ensure that program objectives are met and progress reports are submitted on a timely basis to the National Science Foundation.The proposal requests a total of $218, 380 (or $109,190 each year). 90% of that amount will go for scholarships; 10% is for administrative and student support infrastructure costs.
