Twenty scholarships are being awarded annually to financially needy, academically talented students majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics or a dual degree engineering program. The project is changing how all STEM students, not just scholarship holders, are taught. Some key features of the program are the incorporation of inquiry-based learning techniques, peer-led project teams, round table discussions, special workshops and collaborative faculty-student research teams. An objective of the revised instructional program is to increase the retention of students in STEM fields to graduation by 25 percent. The project is successfully introducing more well-educated scientists from underrepresented groups into the national scientific community.

每年向经济上有困难、学术上有才华的生物学、化学、计算机科学、数学、物理学或双学位工程专业的学生颁发20个奖学金。 该项目正在改变所有STEM学生的教学方式，而不仅仅是奖学金获得者。 该计划的一些主要特点是将基于探究的学习技术，同行领导的项目团队，圆桌讨论，特别研讨会和合作的师生研究团队。 修订后的教学计划的一个目标是将STEM领域的学生保留率提高25%。 该项目正在成功地将更多来自代表性不足群体的受过良好教育的科学家引入国家科学界。
