To support degree completion, the CSEMS program at New Mexico State University provides financial support to academically talented, financially needy students, improving their educational experience through activities that promote academic and professional excellence and workforce preparedness. Building on the state-wide partnership established in 1993 by the New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) Program, CSEMS will offer scholarships to thirty transfer students and incoming freshmen.Additionally, the program offers the CSEMS Academic and Professional Experience (CAPE) that includes four important components: 1) academic tutoring, 2) academic and professional workshops, 3) discipline-specific faculty mentorships, and 4) research opportunities. CAPE complements a wide array of existing student support programs and services.Students are recruited for the program in collaboration with 1) existing mechanisms of New Mexico AMP, 2) the College of Engineering, 3) the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Center, and 5) the Financial Aid Office. Program selection will be based on financial need and academic merit, with first priority given to underrepresented students transferring from a New Mexico community college, second priority given to graduated high school seniors entering as freshmen in the targeted disciplines, and third priority given to currently enrolled NMSU students.Intellectual Merit: CSEMS contributes to improved graduation rates for students in New Mexico, a state with a large pool of Hispanic and American Indian students. Through CSEMS and CAPE, students are afforded highly individualized support, integrating well with existing opportunities. Faculty mentors work closely with the CSEMS facilitator and New Mexico AMP staff to periodically review student progress. Students are advised about existing course and research opportunities, including integrated learning communities, and the Undergraduate Research Assistantship (URA), a faculty-mentored research project. As sophomores, students have the opportunity to enter the CSEMS URA Program, which is a means of rewarding and encouraging students to a higher level of academic excellence. In this URA, students conduct research in interest areas, receive focused mentoring and training, and present at student symposiums and conferences. The high level of faculty involvement lends to the intellectual merit of the CSEMS, with the PI, three of the Co-PIs, the New Mexico AMP Program Manager, and the Selection Committee Head currently teaching at NMSU.Broader Impact: Through the statewide network, CSEMS impacts the states student population by advancing discovery and understanding and promoting teaching, training, and learning. CSEMS at New Mexico State University promotes improved access to higher education, particularly for community college students who are frequently also first-generation college students. CSEMS enhances the infrastructure for research and education by its strong integration with the Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program and its focus on faculty and research mentorships. Importantly, it strengthens the connection with industry by provide internships, co-ops, and mentorships for students.

为了支持学位完成，新墨西哥州立大学的CSEMS项目为有学术天赋、经济困难的学生提供经济支持，通过促进学术和专业卓越以及劳动力准备的活动改善他们的教育体验。在新墨西哥州少数民族参与联盟(新墨西哥州AMP)计划于1993年建立的全州合作伙伴关系的基础上，CSEMS将为30名转校生和新生提供奖学金。此外，该计划还提供CSEMS学术和专业体验(CAPE)，其中包括四个重要组成部分：1)学术辅导，2)学术和专业研讨会，3)特定学科的教师指导，以及4)研究机会。CAPE是对现有的一系列学生支持计划和服务的补充。该计划的招生工作是与1)新墨西哥州AMP现有机制、2)工程学院、3)艺术与科学学院咨询中心和5)经济援助办公室合作进行的。项目的选择将基于经济需要和学术成就，优先考虑从新墨西哥州社区大学转来的代表人数不足的学生，第二优先考虑毕业的高中高年级学生进入目标学科的新生，第三优先考虑目前注册的NMSU学生。智力优势：CSEMS有助于提高新墨西哥州学生的毕业率，该州拥有大量拉美裔和美国印第安人学生。通过CSEMS和CAPE，学生可以得到高度个性化的支持，与现有的机会很好地结合在一起。教师导师与CSEMS协调人和新墨西哥州AMP工作人员密切合作，定期审查学生的进步。向学生建议现有的课程和研究机会，包括综合学习社区和本科生研究助理奖学金(URA)，这是一个由教师指导的研究项目。作为大二学生，学生有机会进入CSEMS URA计划，这是一种奖励和鼓励学生达到更高水平的学术卓越的手段。在这个市建局，学生在感兴趣的领域进行研究，接受有针对性的指导和培训，并出席学生座谈会和会议。教师的高度参与有助于CSEMS的智力优势，PI、三名联合PIs、新墨西哥州AMP项目经理和遴选委员会负责人目前在NMSU任教。广泛影响：通过全州范围的网络，CSEMS通过促进发现和理解以及促进教学、培训和学习来影响各州的学生群体。新墨西哥州州立大学的CSEMS促进改善接受高等教育的机会，特别是社区学院的学生，他们往往也是第一代大学生。CSEMS通过与本科生研究助学金计划的紧密结合以及对教师和研究导师的关注，增强了研究和教育的基础设施。重要的是，它通过为学生提供实习、合作和指导来加强与行业的联系。
