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.

该项目向该大学软件工程理学硕士课程中具有学术才华和经济困难的学生颁发奖学金。理学硕士课程是威斯康星州唯一的此类课程，满足了该地区对软件工程高级学位专业人员的需求。该项目为学生提供两种课程路径。第一条途径是为之前已完成学士学位的学生提供标准的两年制研究生学位。第二条途径是快速通道计划，让学生在五年内完成本科和研究生课程。奖学金支持两个方向的学生。来自代表性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，学生们正在参加教师的指导活动。该地区的校友和行业领袖也为该项目的学生提供了榜样，提供研讨会和就业机会。
