This project is collaborating with the Kent State University Upward Bound Math and Science program to identify and recruit potential physical science majors. This collaboration is being particularly effective in attracting underrepresented groups including minorities, women and persons with disabilities to physical science majors. The scholarships are being awarded to academically talented students that qualify for financial aid at all academic levels from freshmen to graduate students. The graduate students besides pursuing their own studies are serving as role models for the undergraduates and encouraging to them to broaden their consideration of career paths. All scholarship holders are maintaining journals which are aiding the faculty in monitoring student progress.

该项目与肯特州立大学向上数学和科学项目合作，以确定和招募潜在的物理科学专业学生。这种合作在吸引少数民族、妇女和残疾人等代表性不足的群体攻读物理科学专业方面特别有效。奖学金颁发给有学术天赋的学生，这些学生有资格获得从大一到研究生的所有学术水平的经济援助。研究生除了追求自己的学业，还为本科生树立了榜样，鼓励他们拓宽职业道路的考虑。所有奖学金获得者都要保持期刊，以帮助教师监控学生的进步。
