Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematic Scholarship Program

该项目通过奖学金为低收入的学业有才华的学生提供教育机会，以促进全日制入学和学位成就。该奖学金计划将在两年内获得计算机科学、工程、工程技术和数学学士学位。该计划为来自地区社区大学的转学学生提供财务支持、个人和职业发展援助，并为来自一所历史悠久的黑人大学的数学、科学、工程预科课程的双学位转学学生提供资助。这些学生正在攻读计算机科学、计算机技术、工程、工程技术和数学等领域的职业。入选的25名学者每人从两名导师那里获得年度津贴以及个人和职业发展援助。这其中包括一名来自行业的导师和一名教师导师。这两位导师密切关注学生在学校和职业上的进步。他们提供建议、鼓励和学术帮助。导师就选课、个人和专业问题向学生提供建议，并鼓励他们参加专业技术协会。项目经理监控和跟踪学生的学习进度，与导师保持联系，并在必要时安排个别辅导协助。在第一年之后，学者会体验到在当地行业、教师或国家企业工作或研究的兴奋。就业或研究经验将有力地补充他们的学术进步和促进学习。该项目将增加低收入学生、妇女和少数民族攻读全日制工程和科学专业的人数，从而增加毕业生，以帮助满足国家科技企业未来的劳动力需求。

This project provides educational opportunities to low-income academically talented students through scholarships that promote full-time enrollment and degree achievement. The scholarship program leads to a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, engineering technology, and mathematics in two years. The program provides financial support, personal and professional development assistance for transfer students from area community colleges, and dual degree transfer students in math, science, pre-engineering programs from one historically black college. The students are pursuing careers in computer science, computer technology, engineering, engineering technology, and mathematics. The selected twenty-five scholars each receive an annual stipend and personal and professional development assistance from two mentors. This includes one mentor from industry and one faculty mentor. These two mentors closely monitor the progress of the student both in school and professionally. They offer advice, encouragement, and academic assistance. The mentors advise the student concerning course selection, personal and professional issues, and encourage participation in professional technical societies. The program manager monitors and tracks the academic progress of the students, maintains contact with the mentors, and as necessary, arranges for individual tutorial assistance. Following the first year the scholar experiences the excitement of work or research at a local industry, with faculty, or a national enterprise. The employment or research experience will strongly complement their academic progress and enhance learning. The project will increase the number of low income students, women and minorities pursuing full time undergraduate engineering and science studies, thereby increasing graduates to help meet the future work-force needs of the nation's technological enterprise.
