Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarship Program

这一奖学金计划的目的是帮助数学、计算机科学或双学位工程专业的有学术天赋的低收入家庭本科生完成他们的学士学位，并成功地从大学过渡到工作或研究生教育。这项计划正在改善学生的留住和职业发展，并加强与就业部门的伙伴关系。这个为期四年的项目每年资助16名学生。奖学金与现有的学术咨询和其他学生支持挂钩。智力优势：学生必须是大二、大三或大四学生，全日制入学，平均绩点不低于2.75。符合条件的学生被邀请提交一封申请信，其中必须包含兴趣和动机的证据，职业和研究生兴趣的描述，以及NSF奖学金将如何帮助他们完成学位的解释。学者被要求保持每学期的资格，并定期与他们的学术或教师顾问会面。在每个学年开始时，都会举行一次情况介绍会议，让学者们相互了解，并了解他们可以获得的许多学术和职业相关服务。这些学者参加指导计划、实地考察、辅导、教师指导研究、简历撰写和面试技能研讨会、招聘会和其他专门为提高他们的生产率而设计的项目活动。预期结果是提高留校率，提高参与者的GPA，并为就业市场或研究生院做好更好的准备。更广泛的影响：正在进行两种类型的评估：1)形成性评估，旨在为方案的改进提供建设性反馈；2)总结性评估，旨在评估方案的总体成功。一个学生跟踪系统正在实施，以监控NSF学者的学业进步和毕业率，以及一组类似的、匹配的非学者学生。正在使用各种数据收集方法，如焦点小组、访谈和调查。学生在毕业一年后继续被跟踪。

The purpose of this scholarship program is to assist academically talented, low-income-family undergraduate students majoring in mathematics, computer science or dual degree engineering to complete their baccalaureate degrees and make a successful transition from college to work or graduate education. This program is improving the retention and professional development of students and strengthening the partnership with the employment sector. This four-year program supports 16 students a year. Scholarships are linked to existing academic advising and other student support. Intellectual Merit: Students must be sophomores, juniors or seniors, enrolled full time and have a minimum GPA of 2.75. Eligible students are invited to submit a letter of application, which must contain evidence of interest and motivation, a description of career and graduate school interests, and an explanation of how the NSF scholarship would help them complete their degree. Scholars are required to remain eligible each semester and to meet regularly with their academic or faculty advisors. An orientation meeting is held at the beginning of each academic year to acquaint scholars with each other and the many academic and career-related services that are available to them. The scholars participate in a mentoring program, field trips, tutoring, faculty-mentored-research, resume writing and interviewing skills workshops, job fairs and other project activities specifically designed to increase their productivity. Expected outcomes are improved retention, increased GPA for participants, and better preparation for the job market or graduate school. Broader Impacts: Two types of evaluations are being conducted: 1) a formative evaluation designed to provide constructive feedback for the improvement of the program, and 2) a summative evaluation designed to assess the overall success of the program. A student tracking system is being implemented to monitor the academic progress and graduation rates of the NSF scholars, plus a similar, matched group of students who are not scholars. A variety of data collection methods, such as focus groups, interviews, and surveys, are being used. Students continue to be tracked one year after graduation.
