This project is designed to encourage low-income, academically talented students tomajor in computer science and mathematics and to assist them in being successful in thecompletion of their academic program. Through innovative community buildingactivities, the scholarship program is having a significant impact on the entire cohort ofstudents enrolled in Computer Science and Mathematics programs at NJCU. This cohort of students are predominately female and disadvantaged minorities. New Jersey City University is designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and a Minority Institution, with a Hispanic enrollment of 30% and a total minority enrollment of 62%. The Program consists of four components: (1)recruitment of talented, low-income students into Computer Science, Pre-Engineering and Mathematics majors; (2) targeted academic support initiatives, in addition to existing student support services; (3) structured scholarship community activities; and, (4) internships and cooperative education work experiences. The overall goals of the Project are the increase in enrollment, retention and graduation rates of high-ability, low-income students in Computer Science, Pre-Engineering and Mathematics baccalaureate degree programs. These goals and objectives are being accomplished through existing programs, services and resources, as well as through the addition of new academic support initiatives, and scholarship community activities. This initiative represents a congruence between NJCU's mission and the goals and purposes of the National Science Foundation's Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarship Program. The Project enables the creation of a sustainable system for academics, student services and career planning supports for our diverse student population, thereby increasing the technological capacity of our nation's youth, and strengtheing and diversifying of our nation's workforce.

该项目旨在鼓励低收入、有学术天赋的学生主修计算机科学和数学，并帮助他们成功完成学业。通过创新的社区建设活动，奖学金计划对NJCU计算机科学和数学专业的整个学生群体产生了重大影响。这批学生主要是女性和处境不利的少数民族。新泽西城市大学被指定为西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）和少数族裔机构，西班牙裔入学率为30%，少数族裔入学率为62%。该计划由四个部分组成：(1)招收有才华的低收入学生进入计算机科学、工程预科和数学专业；(2)除了现有的学生支持服务外，还有针对性的学术支持举措；(3)有组织的奖学金社团活动；(4)实习与合作教育工作经历。该项目的总体目标是提高计算机科学、工程预科和数学学士学位课程的高能力低收入学生的入学率、留任率和毕业率。这些目标和目的正在通过现有的项目、服务和资源，以及通过增加新的学术支持倡议和奖学金社区活动来实现。这一倡议代表了NJCU的使命与国家科学基金会计算机科学、工程和数学奖学金计划的目标和目的之间的一致性。该项目能够为我们多样化的学生群体创建一个可持续的学术、学生服务和职业规划支持系统，从而提高我国青年的技术能力，并加强和多样化我国的劳动力。
