智力MeritThe科学和工程技术学院在大学房子完善的研究中心和方案，支持教师，本科生和研究生的教学和研究工作。该项目是建立在这些目前的努力的优势，并为本科生提供重要的教育机会。奖学金获得者在指定的导师指导下参加研究和其他活动。学生获得的工具是学术和专业竞争力，无论是进入劳动力或研究生课程。更广泛的影响该项目旨在针对化学，计算机科学，工程，海洋和环境科学，数学和物理学科，其中妇女和少数民族的代表性显着不足。通过为学生提供完善的教育，指导和财政支持结构以及研究机会，以补充他们所选择的学习计划，他们更有能力成为研究生和年轻专业人士。该项目极大地协助正在进行的努力，以增加妇女和非洲裔美国人谁追求高级学位和职业生涯在STEM领域的数量。该项目可作为其他机构的典范。

Intellectual MeritThe Schools of Science and Engineering & Technology at the University house well-established research centers and programs that support the teaching and research efforts of faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students. This project is building on the strengths of these current efforts and provides significant educational opportunities for undergraduate students. Recipients of the scholarships participate in research and other activities under designated mentors. Students acquire the tools to be academically and professionally competitive to either enter the workforce or a graduate program.Broader ImpactThe project is designed to target the disciplines of chemistry, computer science, engineering, marine and environmental science, mathematics, and physics, where women and minorities are significantly underrepresented. By providing students with a sound education, mentoring and financial support structures and research opportunities that supplement their selected program of study, they are better equipped to succeed as graduate students and young professionals. The project greatly assists in ongoing efforts to increase the number of women and African-Americans who pursue advanced degrees and careers in STEM fields. The project can serve as a model for other institutions.
