This project is allowing the Appalachian College Association (ACA), a non-profit organization of 34 small, private, liberal arts institutions in the Appalachian areas of five states (Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia) with more than 38,000 students, to award 30 two-year scholarships of $2,750 per year to rising juniors at ACA institutions who have declared majors in computer science or computer information science/systems, engineering programs; or mathematics or mathematical science. It offers five research/internship opportunities to scholarship students on a competitive basis; and supports all scholarship recipients through personal and internet communication with other Scholars, training in career planning, and support from academic, research, and business mentors.Intellectual merit: this project continues and enhances a program funded with an NSF CSEMS grant (2001-2004) that awarded one- or two-year scholarships to 54 different students at 16 ACA institutions. Based on what was learned from the previous project, this project is strengthening the content of the annual meetings for scholarship recipients, adding a competitive research/internship opportunity for selected scholars, and providing closer connection between students and faculty mentors throughout the scholarship period and beyond.Broader impact: communities in the Appalachian area have many of the economic characteristics typical of such minorities. This project is having a positive effect on the students selected, the schools they attend, and central Appalachia.

阿巴拉契亚学院协会 (ACA) 是一个非营利组织，由分布在 5 个州（肯塔基州、北卡罗来纳州、田纳西州、弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州）阿巴拉契亚地区的 34 所小型私立文科院校组成，拥有超过 38,000 名学生，该项目允许阿巴拉契亚学院协会 (ACA) 向 ACA 机构中已申报计算机科学或计算机信息专业的大三学生颁发 30 份每年 2,750 美元的两年期奖学金。 科学/系统、工程项目；或数学或数学科学。 它以竞争的方式为奖学金学生提供五个研究/实习机会；并通过与其他学者的个人和互联网交流、职业规划培训以及学术、研究和商业导师的支持来支持所有奖学金获得者。 智力优势：该项目继续并加强了由 NSF CSEMS 拨款（2001-2004）资助的项目，该项目向 16 个 ACA 机构的 54 名不同学生提供一年或两年的奖学金。根据之前项目的经验，该项目正在加强奖学金获得者年会的内容，为选定的学者增加有竞争力的研究/实习机会，并在整个奖学金期间及之后为学生和教师导师之间提供更紧密的联系。 更广泛的影响：阿巴拉契亚地区的社区具有许多此类少数族裔的典型经济特征。该项目对所选学生、他们就读的学校以及阿巴拉契亚中部产生了积极影响。
