Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

通过NSF计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金（CSEMS）计划下的既定奖学金活动，绿色河社区学院（绿色河）使有才华但经济困难的学生能够获得计算机科学，计算机技术，工程，工程技术和数学方面的高等教育学位。该方案还改善了奖学金学生的职业发展和就业机会。CSEMS计划是一个可复制的模型，展示了财务和学术支持以及学生支持基础设施的积极成果，因为它们与学生保留学位完成和为工作场所做好充分准备有关。在机构一级，该方案正在加强绿色河与其他高等教育机构和计算机科学、工程和数学就业部门之间的伙伴关系。一个方案咨询委员会正在监督该方案的活动，并评估其持续的有效性。该委员会包括来自工业界、当地高中计算机科学、工程和数学教师、绿色河校友和四年制大学教师的代表。奖学金评选委员会正在评估奖学金申请的成功与否。该委员会包括来自绿色河的计算机科学，工程和数学系的教师代表，以及奖学金办公室代表。奖学金学生是根据学术成绩，专业精神和潜力来选择的，以完成他们的学位在CSEMS学科的补助期结束。奖学金获得者成功毕业的学术和学生支持基础设施包括通过绿色河的高质量计算机科学，工程和数学部门，教师顾问为每个学生在他/她的学科，一对一的导师关系与学生感兴趣的领域的地区领导人，以及学生支持团体和组织的课程和计划。CSEMS奖学金计划使绿色河能够进一步加强现有的社区基础设施，为具有不同职业目标的不同背景的学生提供招聘，实现和增加教育和就业机会，同时也为其他社区学院创造了可复制的模式。最终，这个项目正在改善绿色河、其他社区学院和四年制大学的本科教育。

Through an established scholarship activity under the NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) program, Green River Community College (Green River) is enabling the achievement of higher education degrees in computer science, computer technology, engineering, engineering technology, and mathematics by talented but financially disadvantaged students. This program is also improving scholarship student's opportunities for professional development and employment. The CSEMS program is serving as a reproducible model that demonstrates the positive outcomes of financial and academic support and student support infrastructure as they relate to student retention toward degree completion and adequate preparation for the workplace. On an institutional level, this program is strengthening partnerships between Green River and other institutions of higher education and computer science, engineering, and mathematics employment sectors. A Program Advisory Committee is overseeing the program's activities and evaluating its ongoing effectiveness. This committee includes representatives from industry, local area high school computer science, engineering, and mathematics teachers, Green River alumni, and four-year university faculty. A Scholarship Selection Committee is evaluating success of scholarship applications. This committee includes faculty representatives from Green River's computer science, engineering, and mathematics departments, and a scholarship office representative. Scholarship students are being chosen based on academic merit, professionalism, and potential to complete their degree in a CSEMS discipline by the close of the grant period. The academic and student-support infrastructure for successful graduation of scholarship recipients includes classes and programs through Green River's high quality computer science, engineering, and mathematics departments, faculty advisors for each student in his/her discipline, one-on-one mentor relationships with area leaders in the student's field of interest, and student support groups and organizations. The CSEMS scholarship program is enabling Green River to further enhance the existing community infrastructure for the recruitment, attainment, and increased educational and employment opportunities of students of diverse backgrounds with diverse career goals while also creating a reproducible model for other community colleges. Ultimately, this program is improving undergraduate education at Green River, other community colleges, and four-year universities.
