Scholarship Program for Computer Science and Engineering

拟议中的奖学金计划将是全校和全州范围内的一项更大努力的一部分，该努力旨在将计算机科学和工程专业的毕业生人数增加25%或更多。该项目将向工程或计算机科学专业的合格高年级全日制学生提供40个2500美元的奖学金。奖学金的招募和推广将针对来自适当领域中代表性不足的群体的低收入、有学术天赋的学生，如果他们获得奖学金作为其经济援助计划的一部分的支持，他们将能够全日制入学并在两年内完成学位。在学校现有的奖学金和学生支持项目的基础上增加一个有针对性的奖学金项目，将使该大学能够：将SEAS计算机科学和工程专业的转学生入学率提高20%；将高年级全日制学生的比例提高10%；增加高年级学生在两年内毕业的留校率；通过有针对性地为代表性不足的群体招收15%的学生，提高高年级学生的多样性；将高年级学生的地理多样性提高5%，以扩大来自俄勒冈州农村的经济困难学生的入学率。作为其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合作，例如俄勒冈州数学，工程和科学成就（MESA） K-12浓缩计划，针对代表性不足的学生，以及女性工程师协会，以确定和招募在适当领域代表性不足的学生。学校还将与其他行政部门合作，如财政援助和招生办公室，以确定并鼓励符合基本项目标准的合格申请人的申请。奖学金的决定因素将包括学术指标，如低级别GPA和班级排名，以及专业成功指标（动机、沟通技巧和领导能力），这些指标由教师或雇主的推荐信和学生的论文提供。一旦学生接受了他们的奖项，SEAS将协调其学生服务工作与其他单位提供的支持服务，为每个学生提供量身定制的支持基础设施，以满足他们的需求，以确保他们在毕业和毕业后的就业成功。

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.
