Scholarship Initiative in Chemistry and Physics

16名化学或物理专业的新生分为两个8人的队列，每年获得9750美元的奖学金。第一批学生将获得由S-STEM赠款资助的四年奖学金。第二批学生将获得S-STEM基金的三年奖学金，然后获得大学的一年奖学金。该项目值得注意的特点包括奖学金候选人的足够的池和化学和物理课程内的能力，以吸收增加招生，整个化学和物理教师参与该项目的组合，以及可用的学生支持服务。 继续一个长期建立的毕业要求，学者们正在进行为期一年的高级顶点研究课程。 由于课程学分正在收到这些项目，并包括在毕业所需的最低学分，该要求是允许在S-STEM程序。

Sixteen freshmen students majoring in chemistry or physics divided into two cohorts of eight are receiving annual scholarships of $9,750. The first cohort is receiving four-year scholarships funded by this S-STEM grant. The second cohort will be receiving three-year scholarships from S-STEM funds followed by a one-year scholarship from the university. Noteworthy features of the project include the combination of a sufficient pool of scholarship candidates and the capacity within the chemistry and physics programs to absorb the increased enrollment, the involvement of the entire chemistry and physics faculty in the project, and the available student support services. Continuing a long established graduation requirement, the scholars are undertaking a year-long senior capstone research course. Since course credit is being received for these projects and is included in the minimum credit hours required for graduation, the requirement is being permitted within the S-STEM program.
