Through this award, students are being encouraged through hands-on learning and collaborative mentoring at all levels within academia and appropriate regional industry to remain in science, technology, and mathematic career paths. Support of real-world professional activities and skills, such as actively participating in research, publishing, attending seminars and scientific meetings, working with collaborators, and presenting at scientific conferences, are providing additional engagement opportunities and excitement about careers in science, technology, and mathematics. Additionally, these activities are also teaching students other valuable skills, such as communication and teamwork, that are highly regarded in the scientific community. With the help of this program, financially needy, talented students are able to achieve their career goals sooner.
