This project (MACSTECH Scholars: Mathematics and Computer Science Technology Scholarship Program) allows the Mathematics and Computer Sciences Programs to provide 28-45 scholarships each year for four years to financially needy, academically talented students. Both programs have been identified as "economic development programs" by the Board of Regents because of their strong technology emphasis and the critical need for graduates in these areas within the state of South Dakota. MACSTECH is designed to strengthen the current programs and to provide a foundation for future success.The project contains a comprehensive management plan that incorporates student recruitment (particularly to develop a critical mass of students in the Mathematics major and to increase underrepresented populations and women in the programs), develops multiple mechanisms to improve student retention at various points in their degree studies, increases the number of highly qualified double majors in Mathematics and Computer Science, and provides an extensive student enrichment and support structure.A strong retention program involving continued support for successful scholars fosters the success of those individuals to degree completion. This is accomplished through advising, building group cohesion, and extensive use of student support services, tutoring, enrichment activities and the resources and activities of existing university programs.

该项目（MACSTECH 学者：数学和计算机科学技术奖学金计划）允许数学和计算机科学项目在四年内每年向经济困难、学术才华横溢的学生提供 28-45 个奖学金。这两个项目都被董事会确定为“经济发展项目”，因为它们对技术的重视以及南达科他州这些领域对毕业生的迫切需求。 MACSTECH 旨在加强当前的项目，并为未来的成功奠定基础。该项目包含一个全面的管理计划，其中包括学生招生（特别是培养数学专业的学生数量，并增加项目中代表性不足的人口和女性），制定多种机制以提高学生在学位学习的各个阶段的保留率，增加数学和计算机科学领域高素质双专业的数量，并提供广泛的学生丰富内容 和支持结构。一个强有力的保留计划，包括对成功学者的持续支持，可以促进这些人成功完成学位。这是通过提供建议、建立团队凝聚力以及广泛利用学生支持服务、辅导、丰富活动以及现有大学课程的资源和活动来实现的。
