Scholarships for Transfer Students in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

该项目为24名有经济需要的学生提供奖学金，这些学生从社区学院转到希望学院，主修生物、化学、计算机科学、工程、地质和环境科学、数学或物理。在三年的时间里，每年向8名转学学生提供1万美元的奖学金。对于符合资格要求的学生，奖学金可以续签第二年。每位奖学金获得者都有机会在暑假参加霍普学院的一个暑期研究项目，然后再开始在霍普学院学习。然后，他们在希望的学习中得到了密集的教职员工建议、及时和适当的学术帮助、同行指导、职业咨询和教育、实习和研究机会，以及在S-STEM学者中建立社区的计划。该项目针对的是通常不会考虑上霍普这样的私立文科大学的社区学院学生，该项目正在增加STEM专业学生的经济和种族多样性。

This project provides scholarships for 24 students with financial need who transfer to Hope College from a community college to major in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geological and environmental sciences, mathematics, or physics. Scholarships of $10,000 per year are being offered to eight transferring students each year over three years. The scholarships are renewable for a second year for students who meet eligibility requirements. Each scholar is given the opportunity to participate in a summer research project at Hope College in the summer before they begin studies at Hope. They are then supported in their study at Hope by intensive faculty advising, timely and appropriate academic assistance, peer mentoring, career counseling and education, internship and research opportunities, and a program for building community among S-STEM scholars. By targeting community college students who usually do not consider attending a private liberal arts college like Hope, this project is increasing economic and racial diversity in the STEM majors.
