APEX Scholars Project

APEX学者计划为攻读数学、物理科学、生物科学、工程及相关技术以及计算机科学与技术学位的学生提供奖学金。APEX学者获得奖学金，以及学术支持和队列机会，参加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）丰富活动。其他不完全符合学术资格的学生可以获得一次性APEX奖励奖，使他们能够在大学水平上展示学术潜力。成功的奖励学生成为APEX学者。成功转入STEM学士学位课程的APEX学者将获得APEX Plus奖学金继续他们的教育。虚拟队列活动将全国各地的学生联系在一起。智力优势：APEX学者计划采用了由该学院的nsf资助的促进STEM中心（CP-STEM）开发的成功支持机制。利用CP-STEM的机制来协调APEX学者，这将大量的学生聚集在一起，他们对STEM有共同的兴趣，可以相互学习。更广泛的影响：该项目使STEM学科的一群学生能够更好地理解不同STEM领域的本质。团队内部的互动和合作有助于培养团队合作技能，这对在职场取得成功至关重要。此外，通过社区大学项目和学士学位项目提供的持续经济支持为STEM学生提供了通常无法获得的机会。

The APEX Scholars Program is providing scholarships to students pursuing degrees in mathematics, physical sciences, biological sciences, engineering and related technologies, and computer science and technology. APEX Scholars receive scholarship funds, as well as academic support and cohort opportunities, to participate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enrichment activities. Other students who do not quite meet academic qualifications receive a one-time APEX Incentive Award that allows them to demonstrate academic potential at the college level. Successful Incentive students become APEX Scholars. Successful APEX Scholars who transfer to a baccalaureate STEM program receive APEX Plus scholarship to continue their educations. Virtual cohort activities link these students throughout the country. Intellectual Merit: The APEX Scholars Program is adapting successful support mechanisms developed through the college's NSF-funded Center for Promoting STEM (CP-STEM). Using the mechanism of CP-STEM to coordinate APEX Scholars, this brings together large groups of students whose shared interest in STEM allows them to learn from each other. Broader Impacts: The program enables a cohort of students across the spectrum of STEM subjects to better understand the nature of different STEM fields. Interacting and working together within the cohort helps develop teamwork skills essential to success in the workplace. In addition, the continuum of financial support through community college programs and into baccalaureate programs offers opportunities to STEM students not normally available.
