The University of Idaho (UI) Computer Science and Math (CSM) Scholarship project is increasing the number and diversity of well-trained computer science and mathematics students who graduate with bachelor's degrees over the life of the project. Each year, the project awards CSM scholarships of $3,000 ($1500/semester) to 30 Computer Science and Mathematics students who demonstrate academic merit and financial need, with specific efforts to include students from underrepresented groups. The scholarships are a financial incentive that contributes to increased retention and graduation rates compared to non-scholarship recipients. Academic outcomes are improved by coordinating access to student support services; mentoring to guide CSM Scholars in utilizing campus resources, research opportunities, and internships; and outcome-oriented monitoring of student progress. Recipients may retain their CSM Scholarships up to three years, as long as they maintain eligibility. The PIs are working with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, UI Department of Education TRIO programs on campus, the College Assistance Migrant Program, and the Multicultural Outreach Coordinator to identify and recruit students from underrepresented groups into the program. The UI Office of Financial Aid is verifying eligibility of students. CSM Scholars have mentors in their departments to provide academic advising and to ensure that they are progressing in their degree programs. Job and/or intern placement is facilitated through departmental industry contacts and the UI Career Services Office. The departments also maintain student data to track the students' progress, to meet NSF-led data collection requirements, and to do a comparative assessment of the program's effectiveness.

爱达荷大学(UI)计算机科学与数学(CSM)奖学金项目正在增加受过良好培训的计算机科学和数学专业学生的数量和多样性，他们在项目的整个生命周期中毕业时获得学士学位。该项目每年将3,000美元(每学期1500美元)的CSM奖学金授予30名表现出学术成就和经济需求的计算机科学和数学专业的学生，并特别努力将来自代表性不足群体的学生包括在内。与非奖学金获得者相比，奖学金是一种经济激励，有助于提高留校率和毕业率。通过协调获得学生支持服务的机会；指导CSM学者利用校园资源、研究机会和实习机会进行指导；以及以结果为导向监测学生的进步，从而改善学术成果。只要保持资格，获奖者可以保留CSM奖学金，最长可达三年。PIS正在与多元文化事务办公室、伊利诺伊大学教育部校园三重计划、大学援助移民计划和多元文化外联协调员合作，从代表性不足的群体中识别和招收学生加入该计划。伊利诺伊州助学金办公室正在核实学生的资格。CSM学者在他们的部门中有导师提供学术建议，并确保他们在学位项目中取得进步。就业和/或实习生安置通过部门行业联系和UI职业服务办公室提供便利。这些部门还维护学生数据，以跟踪学生的进步，满足NSF领导的数据收集要求，并对该计划的有效性进行比较评估。
