CSEMS Scholarship Program in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

该项目为有经济需要的学术天才学生提供奖学金，以在希望学院学习计算机科学，工程或数学，重点是招聘和保留。该项目的目标是增加在希望学院攻读计算机科学、工程或数学专业的学生人数，特别是少数群体成员和妇女;增加这些专业的学生保留率;吸引学生在到达希望学院后学习这些专业。奖学金将持续到学生本科学习的第四年结束，只要学生符合资格要求，包括在三个目标学科之一的学位继续进步。获奖者是在个人面试和对他们的工作进行审查后选择的，并基于对学术成功的承诺和奖学金对候选人职业选择的影响潜力。招聘活动集中在密歇根州西部少数民族入学率高的高中，并通过与这些高中的数学教师接触开始。保留奖学金的获得者是从希望学院的计算机科学、工程和数学入门课程的学生中招募的，选择将基于这些课程的教师的提名。获得CSEMS奖学金的学生得到了密集的教师咨询，及时和适当的学术援助，同伴指导，职业咨询和教育，实习和研究机会，以及在所有CSEMS学者中建立社区的计划的支持。

This project provides scholarships for academically talented students with financial need to study computer science, engineering, or mathematics at Hope College, focused on recruitment and retention. The objectives of this project are to increase the number of students, especially members of minority groups and women, pursuing majors in computer science, engineering, or mathematics at Hope College; to increase the retention of students in these majors; and to attract students to these majors after they arrive at Hope College. The scholarships continue until the end of the student's fourth year of undergraduate study as long as the student meets eligibility requirements, including continuing progress toward a degree in one of the three target disciplines. Recipients are selected after personal interviews and a review of their work, and are based on the promise for academic success and potential for the scholarship to influence the candidate's career choice.Recruiting activities are focused on high schools in western Michigan with high minority enrollments, and are initiated through contact with mathematics teachers at those high schools. Retention scholarship recipients are recruited from among students enrolled in introductory computer science, engineering, and mathematics courses at Hope College and selection will be based on nominations from the instructors of those courses. Students receiving CSEMS scholarships are supported by intensive faculty advising, timely and appropriate academic assistance, peer mentoring, career counseling and education, internship and research opportunities, and a program for building community among all CSEMS scholars.
