Scholastic Reward for Talented Low Income Students in Computer, Physical, and Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics

该奖学金项目正在为计算机，物理和生物科学，工程和数学方面有学术才能的一年级学生招募和资助基于需求的奖学金，着眼于扩大代表性不足的群体（妇女，少数民族和残疾人）在STEM职业中的参与，并满足对充分准备的科学和工程劳动力的需求。补充S-STEM基金的是机构基金，这些基金为取得适当学业进步的学生提供高年级奖学金。奖学金获得者的选择取决于多种因素，包括经济需要和课程成绩和ACT分数的卓越标准。学生还被要求确定学术和职业目标，并完成与教师和非大学S-STEM专业人员的面试。该项目正在建立特殊的队列研究小组，以促进协作学习，每周与S-STEM教师的顾问和咨询会议，除了聘请高年级专业作为导师。 一个外部行业咨询委员会正在评估，建议和帮助促进该计划。

This scholarship project is recruiting and funding need-based scholarships for academically talented first-year students in Computer, Physical, and Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics with an eye toward broadening participation in STEM careers of underrepresented groups (women, minorities, and disabled individuals) and meeting the demand for an adequately prepared scientific and engineering workforce. Complementing the S-STEM funds are institution funds that are supporting upper-division scholarships for students who make appropriate academic progress. Selection of scholarship recipients relies on a combination of factors including financial need and a standard of excellence in course grades and ACT scores. Students are also asked to define academic and career goals and complete an interview with faculty and non-college S-STEM professionals. The project is establishing special cohort study groups to promote collaborative learning, and weekly advisor and counseling sessions with S-STEM faculty, in addition to engaging upper-division majors as mentors. An external industry advisory board is evaluating, advising, and helping to promote the program.
