SciMath Scholarship Program: Support for Achievement in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

SciMath奖学金计划的目标是吸引学术上有天赋但经济上处于不利地位的学生进入计算机科学、工程或数学(CSEM)领域。本数学奖学金项目的目标是：(A)增加CSEM学位课程中招收和留住的有才华的低收入学生的数量；(B)增加代表性不足和非传统人群的参与；(C)促进学生的学业成功；以及(D)支持过渡到就业或转到四年制院校。该项目的重点是及早发现对CSEM领域有兴趣和有能力从事职业的低收入学生。被录取到该项目的学生将获得经济支持，并获得需求评估、学术和职业规划、咨询、辅导和辅导等支持服务。求职者在简历写作、面试技巧和行业人脉方面都会得到帮助。计划转到学士学位院校的学员在准备表格和论文以及选择合适的院校方面得到帮助。该项目协调校园内现有计划和机构的努力，为SciMath学者提供支持。CSEMS系的教职员工担任SciMath奖学金项目学生的顾问。更广泛的影响：SciMath奖学金计划通过为学生提供经济支持，增加了CSEM学科的两年制毕业生人数。靠近这所大学的高科技行业受益于技术工人，他们的教育得到了奖学金的补贴。该奖学金计划为积极招收CSEM学士学位课程学生的转学机构提供了更多不同的候选人。智力优势：CSEM学生的学业成功正在通过辅导、指导和咨询支持技能发展而得到提高。SciMath的学生被要求在随后的转学或就业之前承诺完成副学士学位。该奖学金计划要求学生专注于学术和职业目标，并通过利用校园和社区资源提供支持。与行业合作伙伴和四年制院校的合作丰富和加强了CSEM学科学生的准备。

The goal of the SciMath scholarship program is to attract academically talented but financially disadvantaged students to the fields of computer science, engineering, or mathematics (CSEM). The objectives of the SciMath scholarship project are to: (a) increase the number of talented, low-income students enrolled and retained in CSEM degree programs, (b) increase the participation of underrepresented and nontraditional populations, (c) promote student academic success, and (d) support transition to employment or transfer to four-year institutions. The project focuses on early identification of low-income students with an interest in and aptitude for careers in CSEM fields. Students who are admitted to the program receive financial support and are provided with support services such as needs assessment, academic and career planning, counseling, tutoring, and mentoring. Participants seeking employment receive help in resume writing, interview skills, and industry contacts. Participants planning to transfer to a baccalaureate institution receive help in preparing forms and essays and choosing appropriate institutions. The project coordinates efforts from existing programs and agencies on campus to provide support for SciMath scholars. Faculty members from CSEMS departments serve as advisors to students in the SciMath scholarship program. Broader Impact: The SciMath scholarship program increases the number of two-year graduates in CSEM disciplines by providing financial support for students. High-technology industries in close proximity to the college benefit from the skilled workers whose education was subsidized by the scholarships. The scholarship program provide an increased pool of diverse candidates for transfer institutions that actively recruit students for CSEM baccalaureate degree programs. Intellectual Merit: Academic success of CSEM students is being improved by supporting skills development through tutoring, mentoring, and counseling. SciMath students are required to commit to completing an associate degree before subsequent transfer or employment. The scholarship program requires students to focus on academic and career goals and provides the support by using both campus and community resources. Collaborations with industrial partners and four-year institutions enrich and strengthen the preparation of students in CSEM disciplines.
