This project is building on the success of an earlier CSEMS project aimed at enhancing recruitment and retention of talented women, minorities, and first-generation college students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. The main activities of the project are: building a community of student scholars and faculty that improves academic and social support of talented, financially needy students interested in a STEM major; and preparing students for careers in STEM fields by providing industry mentors and enhanced opportunities for seeking internships and long-term employment. Senior personnel from the Admissions Office and the Office of Financial Aid are working with the Principal Investigator and other faculty to recruit students from across the country to select the best students who meet the mandated criteria for S-STEM scholarships. The students are being supported by a network of mentors consisting of second-year students, graduate student mentors, faculty, and industry representatives. Scholarship recipients meet for weekly Seminars that provide information on University resources, cutting-edge research, industrial internships and job opportunities, and academic and career planning.

这个项目是在早先CSEMS项目的成功基础上进行的，该项目旨在促进计算机科学、工程和数学领域有才华的女性、少数族裔和第一代大学生的招聘和留住。该项目的主要活动是：建立学生学者和教职员工社区，改善对对STEM专业感兴趣的有才华、经济困难的学生的学术和社会支持；通过提供行业指导和增加寻求实习和长期就业的机会，为学生在STEM领域的职业生涯做好准备。招生办公室和助学金办公室的高级人员正在与首席调查员和其他教职员工合作，从全国各地招收学生，以挑选出符合S-STEM奖学金规定标准的最好的学生。这些学生得到了由二年级学生、研究生导师、教职员工和行业代表组成的导师网络的支持。奖学金获得者每周都会参加研讨会，提供关于大学资源、尖端研究、行业实习和就业机会以及学术和职业规划的信息。
