Support for Undergraduate Scholars in Mathematical, Computational and Physical Sciences at the University of Northern Iowa

四组七名有学业天赋、经济上有困难的学生将获得每人每年7000美元的奖学金。奖学金的期限从一年到四年不等，颁发给自然科学学院生物、化学、计算机科学、地球科学、工业技术或物理专业的学生。此外，每年将向三名选择进行全日制暑期学习的学者提供每人2000美元的奖学金。重点是增加来自代表性不足群体的学生毕业于STEM学科的人数。每月向学者们提供系列研讨会。主题包括新生经历、开发研究项目、面试技巧和研究生院申请过程。这些学者还有资格获得参加专业会议和支付专业组织会费的资金。

Four cohorts of seven academically talented, financially needy students will be receiving annual scholarships of $7,000 each. The scholarships will vary from one to four years in duration and be awarded to students in the College of Natural Sciences majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, industrial technology, or physics. Additionally, scholarships of $2000 each will be available annually to three scholars choosing to undertake fulltime summer studies. There is an emphasis of increasing the number of students from underrepresented groups graduating in STEM disciplines. Monthly seminar series are being offered to the scholars. Topics include the freshmen experience, developing research projects, interviewing skills and the graduate school application process. The scholars also are eligible for funds to travel to professional conferences and to defray professional organization dues.
