This project is providing scholarships each year for 13 high-achieving, financially needy computer science or mathematics undergraduate students and 10 graduate students selected from masters and doctoral programs in mathematics or from the doctoral programs in computer, information science, and engineering. Intellectual Merit: The scholarships target a period of high attrition for undergraduate students (transition to the third year of study to completion of degree) and for graduate students (preparation for qualifying exams and beginning of research). This project expands the scope of a previous CSEMS award to emphasize quality and research. The overall goals of the program are to improve recruitment, retention, and preparation for employment or graduate school. A formal system of cohorts and mentoring of scholarship recipients by fellow students and faculty provide support to help students succeed. Rigorous interdisciplinary training is being imparted to scholarship recipients. Broader Impact: The entry of Puerto Rican students into the pipeline for scientific careers for two disciplines in high demand helps to meet the ever-expanding need for these professionals and their associated diversity of viewpoints in various sectors nationally and locally.

该项目每年为13名成绩优异、经济困难的计算机科学或数学专业本科生和10名数学硕士、博士或计算机、信息科学、工程专业博士研究生提供奖学金。智力优势：该奖学金针对的是本科生（过渡到第三年学习以完成学位）和研究生（准备资格考试和开始研究）的高流失率时期。该项目扩大了之前cems奖项的范围，强调质量和研究。该计划的总体目标是改善招聘，保留和就业或研究生院的准备。一个由同学和教师组成的正式的团队和奖学金获得者指导系统为学生的成功提供了支持。奖学金获得者正在接受严格的跨学科培训。更广泛的影响：波多黎各学生进入两个高需求学科的科学职业管道，有助于满足对这些专业人员及其在全国和地方各个部门的相关观点多样性的不断扩大的需求。
