Scholarships for the New Millennium

该项目每年颁发30个奖学金，为期四年，从而增加了拥有副学士学位的个人数量，以及增加了转学到高等院校和/或直接进入劳动力市场的学生数量。该项目正在迈阿密戴德学院的五个参与校区（Wolfson、North、Inter American、Kendall和Homestead）实施，并从以前的cems资助中吸取经验教训。教师通过高接触和高科技的指导和辅导过程，为帮助学者实现他们的目标提供了关键因素。他们每个月至少与学生见面两次，帮助他们制定个人的综合教育计划，评估他们的学业进展，包括学生导师的反馈，并帮助学生实施更有效的学习策略。校友会成员由过去的cems学者组成，他们作为榜样，通过分享他们的经验，帮助激励学生，并为学者提供与业界人士建立联系的机会。这些学者正在进行动手实践体验，其中包括参加STEM俱乐部；创建基于互联网的个人日志；参加专业和科学协会的会议；实习;以及对工业和学术机构的实地考察。一个由机构和组织组成的广泛联盟正在参与为这些学者提供支持的努力。该项目针对的是女性和代表性不足的学生阶层。

The project is awarding thirty scholarships per year for four years, thereby increasing the number of individuals with associate degrees as well as increasing the number of students who are transferring to upper division institutions and/or directly entering the workforce. The project is being implemented at five participating Miami Dade College campuses (Wolfson, North, Inter American, Kendall, and Homestead) and is building on lessons learned from previous CSEMS grants. Faculty members are providing a key factor in helping the scholars achieve their goals through a high-touch and high-tech mentoring and tutoring process. They are meeting with the students at least twice a month where they are helping them develop their individual Comprehensive Educational Plan, assessing their academic progress that includes feedback from the students' instructors, and helping the students implement more effective learning strategies. Alumni Club members consisting of past CSEMS scholars are serving as role models and providing assistance in motivating the students by sharing their experiences and providing an opportunity for the scholars to network with industrial personnel.The scholars are engaging in hands-on, practical experiences, which include participating in the STEM Club; creating an Internet-based personal journal; participating in conferences and meetings of professional and scientific associations; internships; and field trips to industry and academic institutions. A broad coalition of agencies and organizations are participating in an effort to provide support for the scholars. The project is targeting women and underrepresented classes of students.
