Scholarship Program for Computer Science and Engineering

拟议的奖学金计划将是一个更大的全校和全州范围的努力，以增加25%或更多的学生从计算机科学和工程专业毕业的人数的一部分。该项目将颁发40 $2，500奖学金给合格的高年级学生就读于工程或计算机科学课程作为全日制学生。奖项的招聘和推广将针对低收入，学术才华的学生，他们来自适当领域的代表性不足的群体，如果他们获得奖学金作为其经济援助计划的一部分，他们将能够在两年内全日制入学并完成学位。在学校现有的奖学金和学生支持产品中增加有针对性的奖学金计划将使大学能够： 在计算机科学与工程的SEAS课程中增加20%的转学生入学率; 将全日制高年级学生的比例提高10%; 提高高年级学生的保留率，使其在两年内毕业; 提高高年级学生的多样性，有针对性地招收15%的代表性不足的群体; 提高高年级学生群体的地理多样性5%，以扩大来自俄勒冈州农村的经济困难学生的入学率。作为整体招聘活动的一部分，学校将领导申请人的招聘。将特别考虑与社区合作伙伴，如俄勒冈州数学，工程和科学成就（梅萨）K-12富集计划，为代表性不足的学生，和社会女工程师，以确定和招募学生在适当的领域代表性不足。学校还将与其他行政单位，如财政援助和招生办公室，以确定和鼓励符合基本程序标准的合格申请人的申请。奖项的决定因素将包括学术指标，如较低的部门GPA和班级排名，以及专业成功的指标（动机，沟通技巧和领导力）由教师或雇主所需的推荐信提供，并由学生论文。一旦学生接受了他们的奖项，SEAS将协调其学生服务工作与通过其他单位提供的支持服务，为每个学生提供支持基础设施，以满足他们的需求，以确保他们通过毕业和毕业后就业取得成功。

The proposed scholarship program at would be part of a larger school-wide and statewide effort to increase the numbers of students graduating from computer science and engineering programs by 25% or more. The project will award 40 $2,500 scholarships to qualified upper division students enrolled in engineering or computer science programs as full-time students. Recruitment and outreach for awards will target low-income, academically talented students from groups under-represented in appropriate fields who will be able to enroll full time and complete their degree within two years if they receive the support of an award as part of their financial aid package. The addition of a targeted scholarship program to the school's existing scholarship and student support offerings will enable the university to: Increase transfer student enrollment by 20% in SEAS programs in computer science and engineering; Increase the percentage of upper division students enrolling full-time by 10%; Increase retention of upper division students to graduation within two years; Improve diversity of upper division student body by targeted recruitment for under-represented groups by 15%; and Improve geographic diversity of upper division student body by 5% to expand enrollment of economically disadvantaged students from rural Oregon. The school as part of its overall recruitment activities will lead recruitment for applicants. Special consideration will be given to working with community partners, such as the Oregon Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) K-12 enrichment program for under-represented students, and the Society for Women Engineers, to identify and recruit students under-represented in appropriate fields. The school will also work with other administrative units, such as the financial aid and admissions office, to identify and encourage application from qualified applicants who meet the basic program criteria. Awards decision factors will include academic indicators such as lower division GPA and class rank, as well as indicators of professional success (motivation, communication skills, and leadership) provided by the required letters of recommendation from faculty or employers, and by student essays. Once students have accepted their awards, SEAS will coordinate its student service efforts with support services offered through other units to provide each student with a support infrastructure which is tailored to meet their needs in order to assure their success through graduation and post-graduation employment.
