Helping Students Succeed: Scholarships for Computer Science, Mathematics, and Engineering

该项目为计算机科学、数学或工程专业的低收入、有学术天赋的大学生提供40个奖学金。该项目为每位获奖者提供一位教师导师，以及学术和职业支持。奖学金项目由三个阶段组成：招募、选拔和评估。招募阶段包括让个人了解该计划（访问校园部门，访问学生俱乐部，纸质和电子广告，访问当地初级学院），并确定潜在的奖学金获得者。第二阶段，筛选，从筛选申请开始，以核实基本资格。第三阶段，评估，由多个评估组成，以确定如何很好地实现了计划的目标。通过学术资源中心和数学和科学支持服务提供辅导。专门的支持服务可通过联邦TRIO计划、学术支持办公室和少数民族事务办公室获得。就业服务办公室提供有关工作、求职策略和研究生院的信息。这些现有形式的支持将补充给本项目的奖学金获得者。奖学金获得者被要求参加他或她所参加的每门数学、计算机科学或工程课程的每周教学会议。此外，奖学金获得者需要定期提交这些课程的进度报告，并定期与他或她的学术顾问和教师导师会面。

This project provides 40 scholarships to low- income, academically- talented college students majoring in computer science, mathematics or engineering. The project provides each recipient with a faculty mentor, and academic and career support. The scholarship program is composed of three phases: Recruitment, Selection, and Evaluation. The Recruitment phase includes making individuals aware of the program (visiting departments on campus, visiting student clubs, paper and electronic advertisements, and visiting local junior colleges) and identifying potential scholarship recipients. Phase two, Selection, begins with screening applications to verify basic eligibility. Phase three, Evaluation, consists of multiple assessments to determine how well the program's objectives are being met. Tutoring is available through the Academic Resources Center and the Math and Science Support Services. Specialized support services are available through the federal TRIO programs, the Office of Academic Support, and the Minority Affairs Office. The Career Services Office provides information about jobs, career search strategies, and graduate school. These existing forms of support are supplemented for scholarship recipients under this program. A scholarship recipient is required to attend weekly instructional sessions for each mathematics, computer science, or engineering course in which he or she is enrolled. Further, a scholarship recipient is required to submit periodic progress reports for these classes and to meet with his or her academic advisor and faculty mentor on a regular basis.
