The program will provide 90 scholarships in engineering, mathematics, and computer science over a two-year period to high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated financial need. The scholarships should allow the university to make notable impact on the overall success of our student to complete the degree. These need-based scholarships are comparable to the engineering college's more lucrative merit-based awards.At the undergraduate level, we will target upper division junior and senior scholars, and those who transfer into our engineering and mathematics programs at this level. At the graduate level, the need-based awards will supplement assistantship offers made to outstanding students. This significant enhancement to our recruitment package will allow us to become more competitive in attracting the best and brightest U.S. citizens into our graduate program.Our major objective in this project is to reduce the time to degree completion of high-achieving engineering, computer science, and mathematics scholars. We will involve scholarship recipients in program activities that will help them to improve interpersonal skills, serve as mentors to other students, and reduce or remove the need to work off-campus during the academic year.

该计划将在两年的时间内为表现出经济需求的高成就本科生和研究生提供90个工程，数学和计算机科学奖学金。奖学金应该让大学对我们的学生完成学位的整体成功产生显着的影响。这些基于需求的奖学金可与工程学院更丰厚的基于成绩的奖励相媲美。在本科阶段，我们将针对高年级的初级和高级学者，以及那些转入该级别工程和数学课程的学生。在研究生一级，基于需求的奖励将补充向优秀学生提供的助教奖学金。我们的招聘计划的这一重大改进将使我们在吸引最优秀和最聪明的美国公民进入我们的研究生课程方面更具竞争力。我们在这个项目中的主要目标是减少高成就的工程，计算机科学和数学学者完成学位的时间。我们将让奖学金获得者参与计划活动，帮助他们提高人际交往能力，担任其他学生的导师，并减少或消除学年期间校外工作的需要。
