ChaMPES - Computer Science, Chemistry, Marine & Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering Scholarships

理学院和工程技术学院拥有完善的研究中心和项目，支持教师、本科生和研究生的教学和研究工作。这个项目是建立在这些当前努力的优势之上，并为本科生提供重要的教育机会。奖学金获得者在指定导师的指导下参加研究和其他活动。学生获得的工具，无论是进入劳动力市场或研究生课程的学术和专业竞争力。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、数学和物理等学科，在这些学科中，妇女和少数民族的代表性明显不足。通过为学生提供良好的教育、指导、经济支持结构和研究机会来补充他们所选择的学习项目，他们将更好地为研究生和年轻专业人士的成功做好准备。该项目极大地帮助了正在进行的努力，以增加在STEM领域攻读高级学位和职业的女性和非裔美国人的数量。这个项目可以作为其他机构的样板。

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.
