The Mathematics and Science Scholars (MASS) program is awarding 30 annual scholarships for academically talented, financially needy students in the STEM disciplines: Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer Science, Geological Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics. Intellectual Merit: The MASS program objective is to recruit and graduate a talented pool of science and mathematics leaders. The university has identified several factors that impact college-going and student graduation rates: financial need, preparation, study skills, college familiarity, and research awareness. MASS is designed to address these issues and foster change. Broader Impacts: The scholarship program is designed to recruit from a largely Hispanic population; select recipients based on academic achievement and demonstrated interest in the sciences; provide support through faculty mentoring and cohort activities; and assist graduates in pursuing STEM careers and graduate studies. MASS impacts the lives of underrepresented and financially needy science students by giving them the tools to succeed, including opportunities for undergraduate research, industry internships, and graduate studies. Scholars can serve as role models for other students at the university and the high schools they came from. The local economy and businesses benefit from well prepared, diverse job applicants. The project is creating a community of scholars that can be a successful model of encouraging scientific exploration via scholarship incentives.

数学与科学学者（MASS）计划每年为STEM学科（生物学、化学与生物化学、计算机科学、地质科学、数学和物理）中有学术天赋、经济困难的学生颁发30份奖学金。智力优势：MASS项目的目标是招募和毕业一批有才华的科学和数学领袖。该大学已经确定了影响大学入学率和学生毕业率的几个因素：经济需求、准备、学习技能、对大学的熟悉程度和研究意识。MASS旨在解决这些问题并促进变革。更广泛的影响：该奖学金计划旨在从西班牙裔人口中招募；根据学术成就和对科学的兴趣来选择获奖者；通过教师指导和群组活动提供支持；并协助毕业生从事STEM职业和研究生学习。MASS通过为学生提供成功的工具，包括本科研究、行业实习和研究生学习的机会，影响了代表性不足和经济困难的理科生的生活。学者们可以为他们所在大学和高中的其他学生树立榜样。当地的经济和商业受益于准备充分、多样化的求职者。该项目正在创建一个学者社区，可以成为通过奖学金激励鼓励科学探索的成功模式。
