Computer Science Scholars 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：建立奖学金招聘和遴选程序，确定需要资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，每年处理25名奖学金获得者。定义学术支持和指导活动，以帮助留住奖学金获得者。在大学与信息技术雇主和研究生院之间建立联盟，以促进学生的安置。准备一份财务计划，说明在拨款终止时如何支持计划活动。制定一项全面的评估计划，以评估计划活动的有效性。大学为自己是美国最大的以黑人为主的机构之一而自豪，并因其许多学术项目的高质量而受到认可。该学院建立了一门定义明确、时下流行、知识严谨的课程，培养出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同行竞争非常有利。大学相信，如果为执行拟议的项目提供更多资金，这些努力将会大大加强。

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.
