This project is developing a science scholarship program which is utilizing the existing institutional programs and support services to provide a significant foundation for the students. The project is increasing the enrollment of financially needy students in biology, chemistry and earth science. Recruitment efforts are wide reaching and include web-based advertisements as well as brochures, posters, personal contact, and other mechanisms used by existing programs such as McNair Scholars, TEAMS, TRIO and other Title III programs. Academic, social, and personal support will be provided for students in the form of a first year class, research opportunities through existing classes, a career planning course, brown bag luncheons, field trips and the like. The broader impacts of this project are felt through the goal of increasing the number of scientifically trained employees for the state of Arkansas and the country.

该项目正在开发一项科学奖学金计划，该计划利用现有的机构计划和支持服务为学生提供重要的基础。该项目正在增加生物、化学和地球科学领域经济困难学生的入学率。 招聘工作影响广泛，包括基于网络的广告以及小册子、海报、个人联系方式以及麦克奈尔学者、TEAMS、TRIO 和其他 Title III 计划等现有计划使用的其他机制。将以第一年课程、现有课程的研究机会、职业规划课程、棕色袋子午餐会、实地考察等形式为学生提供学术、社会和个人支持。该项目的更广泛影响是通过增加阿肯色州和该国受过科学培训的员工数量的目标来体现的。
