This project creates the Cordia Karl Scholars Program with special opportunities and scholarships for academically talented women with demonstrated financial need, enabling them to complete the B.A. degree in mathematics, computer science, computer information systems, or engineering. The College of Notre Dame is a liberal arts college for women with a high percentage (31%) of students from underrepresented groups, and can play a significant role in diversifying the area's high-tech workforce. The project expands educational opportunities for students majoring in these fields; increases retention of students to degree achievement in these fields; and strengthens partnerships with the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. high-technology industry.Intellectual Merit: The project is based on research on how institutions can best support women in the sciences, and is based on the college's deep experience in educating women for leadership in CSEMS fields.Broader Impact: The Cordia Karl Scholars Program is a model program because of its innovative design and because of the unique full-time undergraduate student body served by the college. Scholars serve as role models for other students, and in turn become role models in their workplaces and as alumnae.

该项目创建了Cordia Karl学者计划，为有学术天赋、有经济需求的女性提供特殊机会和奖学金，使她们能够完成数学、计算机科学、计算机信息系统或工程方面的学士学位。圣母大学是一所面向女性的文科学院，学生中来自代表人数不足的群体的比例很高(31%)，在使该地区的高科技劳动力多样化方面发挥着重要作用。该项目为这些领域的学生扩大了教育机会；增加了学生在这些领域取得学位成就的留存率；并加强了与巴尔的摩-华盛顿特区高科技行业的合作伙伴关系。智力方面的优点：该项目基于研究机构如何最好地支持女性在科学领域，并基于学院在培养女性在CSEMS领域的领导力方面的丰富经验。广泛影响：科迪亚·卡尔学者项目是一个示范项目，因为其创新的设计和学院服务的独特的全日制本科生群体。学者是其他学生的榜样，反过来也是他们工作场所和校友的榜样。
