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.

该项目支持60个奖学金的学术资格，需要为基础的学生参加并从甜石楠学院（SBC）在数学，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求群体，以利用SBC的标准7,500美元弗吉尼亚赠款。智力优势：SBC是一个理想的学习环境，以促进被剥夺公民权的妇女在CSEM领域取得成功。它通过小班教学（平均12名学生），低师生比例（8：1），包括工程在内的多种CSEM选项以及数学和科学课程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有需要的合格妇女进入一个令人鼓舞和参与的学习环境，增加了CSEM领域的妇女人数。这些奖学金打开了一个管道，继续招聘社会经济贫困的学生在弗吉尼亚州的SBC超出NSF赠款期。
