This project is providing scholarship support for academically talented but financially needy students with a demonstrated interest in scientific computation and mathematical modeling. Much of the intellectual merit of this project lies in its explicit development of student expertise in these two areas that are critical for the next generation of scientific researchers. The course and curricular underpinnings of this emphasis lie in the efforts of a group of faculty from nine departments who comprise the Oberlin Center for Computation and Modeling which serves as a catalyst for teaching and student-faculty research using these approaches. The broader impacts of the project are felt in the further development of the Center and the creation of a new cross-disciplinary computation and modeling concentration option for students that will persist as an option for all subsequent students after the formal scholarship support period ends.

该项目为有学术才华但经济困难、对科学计算和数学建模表现出兴趣的学生提供奖学金支持。该项目的大部分智力价值在于它明确发展了学生在这两个领域的专业知识，这对于下一代科学研究人员至关重要。这一重点的课程和课程基础取决于来自九个系的一组教师的努力，这些教师组成了欧柏林计算和建模中心，该中心是使用这些方法进行教学和学生教师研究的催化剂。该项目的更广泛影响体现在中心的进一步发展以及为学生创建新的跨学科计算和建模集中选项，该选项将在正式奖学金支持期结束后继续作为所有后续学生的选项。
