Increasing the Number of Women in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics: A Scholarship Program at an Undergraduate Women's College

该项目为60名学业合格、有需要的学生提供奖学金，让他们进入斯威特·布莱尔学院(SBC)，并从该学院数学、计算机科学或工程专业毕业。SBC的CSEMS计划针对弗吉尼亚州社会经济贫困地区的需要群体，以利用SBC的标准7,500美元弗吉尼亚补助金。智力优势：SBC是一个理想的学习环境，有助于被剥夺公民权的妇女在CSEM领域取得成功。它通过小班规模(平均12名学生)、较低的师生比例(8：1)、包括工程学在内的多种CSEM选择以及在数学和科学项目上的成功记录，为女性提供了独特的学习机会。更广泛的影响：该奖学金计划通过吸引合格的基于需要的妇女进入鼓励和参与的学习环境，增加了CSEM领域的妇女人数。这些奖学金为弗吉尼亚州的社会经济贫困学生在NSF资助期后继续向SBC招收学生开辟了一条渠道。

This project supports 60 scholarships for academically qualified, need-based students to attend and graduate from Sweet Briar College (SBC) in a math, computer science, or engineering major. SBC's CSEMS program targets need-based groups in socio-economically underprivileged areas of Virginia to leverage SBC's standard $7,500 Virginia Grant. Intellectual Merits: SBC is an ideal learning environment to facilitate the success of disenfranchised women in CSEM fields. It offers women a unique learning opportunity through small class sizes (averaging 12 students), low student to faculty ratio (8:1), multiple CSEM options including engineering, and a record of success in math and science programs. Broader Impacts: This scholarship program increases the number of women in CSEM fields by attracting qualified need-based women into an encouraging and engaging learning environment. These scholarships open a pipeline for continued recruitment of socio-economically underprivileged students in Virginia to SBC beyond the NSF grant period.
