Carroll College STaR Scholar Program

智力优点：该奖学金项目吸引高学术能力的学生到卡罗尔学院学习化学，生物化学或分子生物学。 每年向符合条件的学生提供5至10个奖学金，每个奖学金3，000至7，000美元，所有奖学金最多可续期四年。星星奖学金实现的目标包括：吸引高能力的学生参加学院的化学，生物化学和生物学课程，提高学生从第一年到第二年的保留率，促进获得奖学金的队列组的学术卓越，并提供通往职业生涯的明确桥梁。 所有星星学者在第一年注册相同的核心课程，以建立队列组内的牢固纽带。这包括一年的介绍化学和生物学，以及专门设计的第一年研讨会和写作研讨会。这后两门课程，要求所有卡罗尔学院的学生，侧重于自然科学，科学素养和技术写作。所有的学生也报名参加生物伦理学作为一个队列。更广泛的影响：该计划承诺通过提供多种学术和职业发展机会，包括同行指导，工业访问，实习，校内和校外研究，全国会议演讲，职业小组和社交机会，在各自领域培养出一些准备充分的专业人士。 这些计划元素鼓励和使学术上有才华，但经济上有需要的学生追求化学，生物化学和分子生物学的学位和职业。

Intellectual merit: The scholarship project is attracting high academic ability students to Carroll College to study Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Molecular Biology. Five to ten scholarships of $3,000 to $7,000 each are being given to eligible students each year, with all scholarships renewable for up to four years. The objectives being realized by the STaR scholarships include: the attraction of high ability students to the college's chemistry, biochemistry and biology programs, improvements in student retention from first to second year, promotion of academic excellence for the cohort group receiving scholarships, and the provision of clear bridges to professional careers. All STaR Scholars enroll in the same core curriculum for the first year to establish a strong bond within the cohort group. This includes a year of introductory chemistry and biology, and a specially designed First Year Seminar and Writing Seminar. These latter two courses, required of all Carroll College students, focus on natural sciences, science literacy and technical writing. All students also enroll in Biological Ethics as a cohort. Broader Impact: The program promises to produce a number of well prepared professionals in their field by providing multiple opportunities for academic and career development including peer mentoring, industrial visits, internships, on and off-campus research, national meeting presentations, career panels and social opportunities. These program elements are encouraging and enabling academically talented but financially needy students to pursue degrees and careers in chemistry, bio-chemistry and molecular biology.
