Benjamin Banneker Scholars

通过本杰明·班纳克学者计划，中央州立大学(CSU)正在加强其STEM项目，并通过向成绩优异的高中高年级学生和CSU现有新生或转校生提供奖学金和其他学生支持，扩大STEM劳动力队伍。密歇根州立大学是美国历史上唯一的黑人学院和大学，也是俄亥俄州唯一的公立大学，它通过学生参与学习社区和共同的第一年研讨会，通过学生机会中心提供支持，以及在荣誉计划中脱颖而出的机会，来促进学生的入学和留住。除奖学金外，每位班纳克奖学金获得者--(A)参加STEM学习社区，在该社区中，他/她与其他奖学金获得者住在同一宿舍，同时学习同一套严格的核心课程；(B)接受具有学者兴趣领域专长的教职员工的咨询和指导；(C)在某一学术领域需要帮助时接受辅导；(D)可视需要获得其他支助服务，包括专业发展、学习技能和咨询；(E)被鼓励在工业、政府机构和研究机构从事与STEM相关的实习；和(F)在就业和/或进入研究生或专业学校方面提供援助。CSU Banneker奖学金方案促进STEM领域的学术卓越和思想的交流。由经验丰富的教师导师提供的全年指导、与同行和专业榜样的互动以及研究培训的循环为Banneker Scholars在STEM领域的研究生院和专业职业生涯中的竞争提供了灵感。

Through its Benjamin Banneker Scholars program, Central State University (CSU) is strengthening its STEM programs and broadening the STEM workforce by offering scholarships, in conjunction with academic and other student support, to high-achieving high school seniors and current CSU freshmen or transfer students. CSU, one of the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the only public one in Ohio, promotes matriculation and retention of its students through their participation in learning communities and a common first year seminar, support through a Center for Student Opportunities, and opportunities to excel in an Honors Program. In addition to their scholarships, each Banneker Scholar - (a) participates in a STEM Learning Community in which he/she lives in close proximity to other Scholars in the same residence hall while taking the same core set of rigorous courses; (b) receives advising and mentoring by a faculty member whose expertise is in the scholar's interest area; (c) is tutored when assistance is needed with an academic area; (d) has access to other support services, as needed, including professional development, study skills, and counseling; (e) is encouraged into STEM-related internships in industries, governmental agencies and research institutions; and (f) is provided assistance in placement into careers and/or graduate or professional school.The CSU Banneker Scholar program promotes academic excellence and the cross-fertilization of ideas among STEM fields. A cycle of year-round mentoring by experienced faculty mentors, interaction with peer and professional role models, and research training provides the inspiration for Banneker Scholars to compete in graduate school and professional careers in STEM fields.
