The project will establish a scholarship program that will enhance the ability of students to obtain baccalaureate degrees in computer science within four years. More specifically, the project will:Establish a scholarship recruitment and selection process that identifies academically talented computer science majors in need of financial assistance.Provide the infrastructure support to handle 25 scholarship recipients per year. Define academic support and mentoring activities that will foster the retention of scholarship recipients.Form alliances between the University and information technology employers and graduate schools to facilitate the placement of students.Prepare a financial plan that demonstrates how program activities will be supported when grant funds are terminated.Develop a comprehensive assessment plan to evaluate the effectiveness of planned activities.The University is proud to be one of the largest predominantly black institutions in the nation and is recognized for the high quality of many of its academic programs. The institution has established a 'well-defined, current, and intellectually rigorous' course of study that has produced successful computer science graduates who compete favorably with their piers from other institutions in the job-market and graduate school. The University is confident that these efforts can be enhanced considerably if additional funding is provided to implement the proposed project.

该项目将建立一个奖学金计划，以提高学生在四年内获得计算机科学学士学位的能力。更具体地说，该项目将：建立一个奖学金招募和选拔过程，以确定需要经济援助的有学术天赋的计算机科学专业学生。提供基础设施支持，每年接待25名奖学金获得者。定义学术支持和指导活动，以促进奖学金获得者的保留。建立大学与资讯科技雇主及研究生院之间的联盟，以协助安排学生。准备一份财务计划，说明当奖助金终止时将如何支持计划活动。制定全面的评估计划，以评估计划活动的有效性。该大学很自豪能成为全国最大的以黑人为主的机构之一，并因其许多学术课程的高质量而得到认可。该机构已经建立了一个“定义明确，当前和智力严谨”的学习课程，培养了成功的计算机科学毕业生，他们在就业市场和研究生院与其他机构的学生竞争。联合国大学相信，如果为执行拟议的项目提供额外资金，这些努力可以大大加强。
