Students at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) are usually self-supported, with approximately 43% of Engineering and Applied Science freshmen and 70% of seniors working during the academic year. This significantly increases their time to graduation. Because UCCS has few scholarships available, students work longer hours than those on many other campuses. UCCS also serves a sizeable under-represented minority (12.7%, not including Asians) and rural population. These students often have lower family incomes and need to work to pay for their education. To enhance enrollment, retention and graduation rates, and to increase the quality of students, this project will award 40 scholarships at $2,500 each. The scholarships enable the recipients to pursue studies full-time, enhance their educational experience, and enter the workforce in CSEM fields. The scholarships are awarded to freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, after a rigorous selection process. The students are selected based on two sets of criteria: academic and professional. Academic criteria include high GPA, strong letters of reference, and a well-thought out written plan of study. Professional criteria include participation in mentoring or other service activities, student organizations, leadership roles, career goals, and interviews. Awardees are monitored carefully and meet every month with their assigned mentor and other faculty.

科罗拉多斯普林斯分校（UCC）的学生通常是自支撑的，大约43％的工程和应用科学新生，以及在学年工作的70％的老年人。 这大大增加了他们毕业的时间。由于UCC的可用奖学金很少，因此学生的工作时间比其他许多校园的工作时间更长。 UCC还为代表性不足的少数族裔（12.7％，不包括亚洲人）和农村人口提供服务。这些学生经常有较低的家庭收入，需要努力为其教育付费。 为了提高入学率，保留率和毕业率并提高学生的质量，该项目将授予40个奖学金，每个奖学金为2500美元。这些奖学金使接收者能够全日制学习，增强他们的教育经验，并进入CSEM领域的劳动力。经过严格的选择过程，这些奖学金授予新生，大二学生，大三和前辈。根据两组标准选择学生：学术和专业。学术标准包括高GPA，强有力的参考书以及一项经过深思熟虑的书面研究计划。专业标准包括参与指导或其他服务活动，学生组织，领导角色，职业目标和访谈。仔细监视获奖者，并每月与他们指定的导师和其他教师见面。
