Scholarships are being awarded to holders of bachelors degrees in STEM subjects to enter a dual Masters of Science and Doctorate of Science Education degree program. The scholars are academically talented and financially needy individuals planning a career teaching science in a community college. Starting with the second year of the project, three successive cohorts of five students each receiving annual scholarships of $10,000 during the three years that they are studying science and earning a Masters of Science degree while enrolled in the five year long dual degree program. To enable the third cohort to receive three years of scholarship support and graduate with a Masters degree during the five year project period, the university has committed to providing scholarships to the third cohort during their third year of study. All scholars receive financial support from the university's Mallinson Institute of Science Education as they serve in a mentored teaching role during the fourth and fifth years of the program while also conducting their doctoral dissertation research.

奖学金颁发给STEM学科的学士学位持有人，以进入科学硕士和科学教育博士学位课程。这些学者是在学术上有天赋但经济上有困难的个人，他们计划在社区大学教授科学。从项目的第二年开始，连续三组五名学生在三年的时间里获得每年10,000美元的奖学金，他们正在学习科学，并在参加为期五年的双学位课程的同时获得科学硕士学位。为了使第三批学生能够获得三年的奖学金支持，并在五年的项目期间获得硕士学位，大学承诺在第三年学习期间为第三批学生提供奖学金。所有的学者都得到了大学马林森科学教育研究所的财政支持，因为他们在项目的第四年和第五年担任指导教学角色，同时也进行他们的博士论文研究。
