Los Rios Scholars Program

洛斯里奥斯社区学院区（Los Rios Community College District）由美国河学院（American River）、科萨梅斯河学院（Cosumnes River）和萨克拉门托城学院（Sacramento City）三所学院组成，向学术上有天赋、符合条件的学生颁发至少38份奖学金，每年最高可达2500美元。通过NSF学者计划授予的奖学金允许学生减少所需的工作时间和贷款包，并允许他们有足够的时间来学习严格的课程，有足够的学习/辅导时间和时间参加以申请为导向的体验。一些非全日制学生现在可以注册为全日制学生。那些全职员工通过增加工作量和/或提高他们的表现，进步得更快。NSF学者计划与数学、工程和科学成就（MESA）计划的学生支持基础设施相关联，该计划位于洛斯里奥斯的三所学院。这种国家模式为攻读计算机科学、数学、工程或工程技术专业的学生提供必要的学生支持基础设施，以提高他们在四年制大学的转学能力和继续学习该专业的能力。该基础结构包括招聘、学术支持和指导、面向应用程序的经验、保留和转移支持等组件。这些组成部分的活动包括辅导、教师和学生指导、咨询、实习、实地考察和工作见习、领导力培训、技术和数学/科学训练营、丰富项目和提供社区服务的机会，以提高专业水平。所有这些都是在洛斯里奥斯区和MESA工业/教育咨询委员会的保护下完成的。美国国家科学基金会学者协调委员会是一个由洛斯里奥斯大学的教师、管理人员和工作人员组成的13人委员会，负责监督和评估该项目。管理计划包括密切监测一个定义良好的选拔过程和明确定义和可衡量的结果。根据国家科学基金会的要求，报告是首席研究员与其他五位教学主任协调的责任，每位教学主任负责一个或多个指定专业。NSF学者评选委员会由12名成员组成，由来自三所学院、三个MESA项目、行业专业人士和当地K-12和四年制大学的代表组成，负责筛选和选择NSF学者。

The Los Rios Community College District, which consists of the three colleges of American River, Cosumnes River, and Sacramento City, is awarding at least 38 scholarships, of up to $2,500 per year, to academically talented, eligible students.The scholarships awarded through the NSF Scholars Program is allowing students to reduce their required work hours and loan package and allowing them time to pursue the rigorous curriculum with sufficient study/tutor time and time to participate in applications oriented experiences. Some of those who are part-time students can now enroll full-time. Those who are full-time are advancing more quickly by increasing their load and/or by enhancing their performance. The NSF Scholars Program is linked to the student support infrastructure of the Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) Program, which is located at each of the three Los Rios colleges. This national model provides students pursuing majors in computer science, math, engineering, or engineering technology with the student support infrastructure necessary to enhance their transferability to four-year schools and their continuance in the major. This infrastructure includes the components of recruitment, academic support and mentoring, applications oriented experiences, retention, and transfer support. Activities within these components include tutoring, faculty and student mentoring, counseling, internships, field trips and job shadowing, leadership training, technology and math/science bootcamps, enrichment programs and the opportunity to provide community service to enhance the profession. All this is done under the umbrella of the Los Rios District and the MESA Industry/Education Advisory Council. The NSF Scholars Coordinating Committee, a 13-member committee consisting of Los Rios faculty, managers, and staff is monitoring and evaluating the program. The administrative plan includes close monitoring of a well-defined selection process and clearly defined and measurable outcomes. Reporting, as required by NSF, is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator in coordination with five other instructional deans, each having responsibility for one or more of the specified majors. The NSF Scholars Selection Committee, a 12-member committee, with representatives from the three colleges, the three MESA programs, industry professionals and local K-12 and four-year institutions, is screening and selecting the NSF Scholars.
