Improving Student Success in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics

该项目的目标是为来自代表性不足的少数群体的经济困难但学术才华出众的学生提供总共54个为期一年的奖学金，以提高计算机科学、工程和数学的入学率、保留率和毕业率。即将到来的高中学生在CSEMS学科之一获得副学士学位，目前的学生从副学士学位课程转移到学士学位课程的目标。招聘是通过在校园和区域支线高中的外联活动，并通过电子和硬拷贝传播详细的计划和应用信息。该项目链接并利用现有资源，为所有奖学金获得者提供学术支持，辅导，优先注册，咨询，教育规划，学术卓越研讨会，职业发展资源，基于工作的学习机会/实习，优先转移支持，额外的财政援助，以及最先进的计算机和技术设备和实验室。该项目还建立在目前的梅萨（数学，工程和科学成就奖）计划的优势，以及与四年制课程的衔接协议。

The objective of the project is to provide a total of 54 one-year scholarships to economically disadvantaged but academically talented students from underrepresented minority groups to improve the enrollment, retention, and graduation in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Incoming high school students to receive an associate degree in one of the CSEMS disciplines, and current students to transfer from an associate degree program to a baccalaureate degree program are targeted. The recruitment takes place through outreach activities on campus and at regional feeder high schools, and through the electronic and hard copy dissemination of detailed program and application information. The project links and leverages existing resources providing all scholarship recipients access to academic support, tutoring, priority registration, counseling, educational planning, academic excellence workshops, career development resources, work-based learning opportunities/internships, priority transfer support, additional financial aid, and state-of-the-art computer and technological equipment and laboratories. The project also builds on the strengths of the current MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement Award) program, and the articulation agreements with four-year programs.
