Cooperative Scholarship Program; Supporting Undergraduate Preparation in Target Areas of Scientific Need

弗吉尼亚联邦大学和J. Sarkozy Reynolds社区学院正在合作，为生物数学、计算机科学、工程、数学和工程预科专业的本科生提供奖学金。 该计划使来自低收入家庭的学生和第一代大学生能够接受高等教育。合作的结果是一个无缝的过渡，为社区学院的学生转移到加入初级队列。 奖学金持有者95%的学位完成率是每个学者与个人顾问一起制定的个性化合同。 该计划的另一个特点是专为伴随三门课程微积分序列的S-STEM队列设计的问题解决研讨会。

Virginia Commonwealth University and J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College are cooperating to provide scholarships at both institutions for undergraduate students majoring in biomathematics, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and pre-engineering. The program is enabling students from low income families and first generation college attendees to have access to higher education. The result of the cooperation is a seamless transition for the community college students transferring to join the junior level cohort. Contributing to the 95% degree completion rate among the scholarship holders are the individualized contracts that each of the scholars develop in conjunction with the individual's advisor. Another feature of the program is the problem solving workshop being designed exclusively for the S-STEM cohorts that accompany the three course calculus sequence.
