S-STEM Scholarship Program: Building Upon a Legacy of Success

奖学金被授予学术上有才华，经济上有困难的高年级学生，主修生物，化学，地质科学或物理学。 该项目是建立在现有的成功的CSEMS项目的学生主修计算机科学。 正在实现以下目标1。 通过奖学金和咨询减少毕业生的财务债务; 2. 通过增加学生参与教师资助的研究或通过与行业合作伙伴批准的合作社或暑期实习的机会，减少从事非智力工作的学生人数; 3. 与业界伙伴改善就业安排; 4. 提高学生，特别是少数民族学生和女生的毕业率; 5. 缩短学生完成学位的平均时间;及，6. 增加进入研究生院的毕业生人数。

Scholarships are being awarded to academically talented, financially needy upperclass students majoring in biology, chemistry, the geological sciences, or physics. The project is building on an existing successful CSEMS project for students majoring computer science. The following objectives are being met 1. decreasing the financial debt of graduates via scholarships and counseling; 2. decreasing the number of students working in non-intellectually engaging jobs by increasing opportunities for students to work on a faculty member's funded research or through approved co-op or summer internships with industry partners; 3. improving employment placement with industry partners; 4. increasing the graduation rate of students, particularly minority and female students; 5. decreasing the average time to degree completion for students; and, 6. increasing the number of graduates who enroll in graduate school.
