Scholarships to Encourage the Transition from Undergraduate Computer Science to Master of Software Engineering

该项目是为S大学软件工程理学硕士项目中的学业优秀和经济困难的学生颁发奖学金。理科硕士项目是威斯康星州唯一的此类项目，满足了该地区对拥有软件工程高级学位的专业人员的需求。该计划为学生提供两种课程途径。第一条途径是为之前获得学士学位的学生提供标准的两年制研究生学位--S学位。第二条道路是一个快速通道计划，让学生在五年内完成本科生和研究生课程。奖学金在这两个方面都为学生提供支持。来自代表不足群体的妇女和学生尤其成为支持的目标。作为研究生课程的一部分，学生们正在与教职员工一起参加辅导活动。该地区的校友和行业领袖也成为该项目学生的榜样，提供研讨会和就业机会。

This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students in the university?s Master of Science in Software Engineering program. The Master of Science program is the only one of its kind in Wisconsin and fills a regional need for professionals with advanced degrees in software engineering. There are two curricular paths for students in the program. The first path is a standard two-year graduate degree for students who have previously completed a Bachelor?s degree. The second path is a fast-track program for students to complete both an undergraduate and graduate program within five years. The scholarships are supporting students in both tracks. Women and students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support. The students are participating in mentoring activities with faculty as part of their graduate program. Alumni and industry leaders in the region are also serving as role models to the students in the program, providing seminars and employment opportunities.
