The Community College of Baltimore (CCBC) is awarding thirty scholarships annually to students in one of the six A. A. degree programs eligible under the CSEMS guidelines. Three of the programs, Computer Science, Engineering, and mathematics are designed for students intending to transfer to four-year institutions, the remaining three, Computer Information Systems, E-commerce, and Multimedia prepare students for a technology career. Twenty percent of the scholarships are being reserved for students transferring to a four-year institution. CCBC faculty are continuing to mentor those who have transferred via telephone, email and in person consultations. This program is allowing talented students who could not otherwise continue their education because of financial considerations to earn a bachelor's degree. The project's advisory board consists of a CCBC financial officer, two local business partners, a student services counselor, and a representative from one of the six targeted programs.Other outstanding features of the project include a three-day summer career experience workshop and an excellent student support system. During the summer workshop students with the guidance of an academic counselor are creating individual academic learning plans for their four-semester degree program. These plans are updated as the students progress through their programs of study.The CSEMS scholars are doing very well as compared to the general college populace. The college dropout rate of 58% is reduced to 15% for CSEMS scholars. The 44% success rate for the CSEMS scholars after only 2.5 years is nearly double the three-year success rate for the college. The remaining 41% are still continuing their college studies. Not all the dropouts can be considered failures; among them are several individuals who are employed fulltime in their elected CSEMS supported fields.

巴尔的摩社区学院（CCBC）每年向六所A类学校之一的学生颁发30份奖学金。A.学位课程符合CSEMS指导方针。 三个程序，计算机科学，工程和数学是专为学生打算转移到四年制院校，其余三个，计算机信息系统，电子商务和多媒体准备学生的技术职业生涯。 百分之二十的奖学金是留给转学到四年制大学的学生的。CCBC的教师将继续指导那些通过电话，电子邮件和亲自咨询转移的人。该计划允许有才华的学生谁不能继续他们的教育，因为经济考虑，以获得学士学位。该项目的顾问委员会由一名加中贸易理事会财务官员、两名当地商业伙伴、一名学生服务顾问和六个目标项目之一的代表组成。该项目的其他突出特点包括为期三天的暑期职业体验研讨会和优秀的学生支持系统。 在夏季研讨会期间，学生在学术顾问的指导下为他们的四学期学位课程制定个人学术学习计划。 这些计划会随着学生的学习进度而更新。与普通大学的学生相比，CSEMS的学生做得很好。 CSEMS学者的大学辍学率从58%降至15%。 CSEMS学者在2.5年后的44%成功率几乎是该学院三年成功率的两倍。 其余41%的人仍在继续他们的大学学业。 并不是所有的辍学者都可以被认为是失败者;其中有几个人在他们选出的CSEMS支持的领域全职工作。
