Centennial Scholars: Access to "Learn by Doing" Polytechnic Education NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

项目总结。百年学者项目允许具有高学术潜力和经济需求的学生受益于实验室密集型课程，提供实践教育，与行业合作，并在小班授课中接触高级教师。每年有29个奖学金颁发给主修数学、工业与制造工程、机械工程或计算机科学的学生，每个奖学金金额为3125美元。大部分奖学金为新生提供，为期两年；如果学生保持资格，这些奖学金将自动续签。一个特别的重点放在帮助学者克服异常高的流失率点（通常是新生入学的前五个季度和转学生的第一年），比人口统计学上可比的群体更成功。可提供的支持服务包括由具有行业经验的校友提供指导，数学和物理方面的补充指导，优先获得学术丰富资源，以及实践研究的机会。建议没有。美国国家科学基金计算机科学、工程和数学奖学金项目，1995/01/2001。美国加州理工州立大学基金会百周年学者：“边做边学”的途径

Project Summary.The Centennial Scholars Project is allowing students with high academic potential and financial need to benefit from a laboratory-intensive curriculum providing hands-on education, partnerships with industry, and access to senior faculty in small classes. Twenty-nine scholarships of $3,125 each are being awarded annually to students majoring in mathematics, industrial and manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or computer science. The majority of the scholarships are two-year awards for freshmen; these scholarships are automatically renewed providing the students maintain eligibility. A special emphasis is placed on assisting the scholars in overcoming points of unusually high attrition (normally the first five quarters of enrollment for freshmen and the first year for transfer students) more successfully than a demographically comparable group. The support services available include mentoring by alumni with industry experience, supplemental instruction in mathematics and physics, prioritized access to academic enrichment resources, and opportunities for hands-on research.
