This project is awarding scholarships to talented students to increase the quantity and diversity of students who complete undergraduate degrees in computer science or mathematics. Students are recruited from both local secondary schools and community colleges, with twelve scholarships offered annually. A number of project components that are designed to increase academic success contribute to the intellectual merit of this effort. These include: combining appropriate-level classes in mathematics to create cohort groups of computer science and mathematics students; providing student-student, faculty-student, and industry-student mentoring programs and workshops; and motivating students through opportunities for research projects and internships. A diverse management team is also in place including department faculty leaders in the two departments, the Director of Financial Services, and the Dean of the College housing the computer science and mathematics departments. Additional student support services units on campus are also involved. In terms of broader impacts the project is promoting increased participation of talented Hispanics in the fields of computer science and mathematics through its financial, academic, and practical support. This is leading to an increase in the talent base and diversity of newly graduated persons entering either the workforce or pursuing advanced degrees.

该项目向有才华的学生颁发奖学金，以增加完成计算机科学或数学本科学位的学生的数量和多样性。学生从当地中学和社区学院招收，每年提供12个奖学金。许多旨在提高学术成功的项目组成部分有助于这种努力的智力价值。这些措施包括：将适当水平的数学课程结合起来，创建计算机科学和数学学生的队列组；提供学生-学生、教师-学生和行业-学生指导计划和研讨会；并通过研究项目和实习机会激励学生。一个多元化的管理团队也到位，包括两个部门的部门教师领导，金融服务主任，以及计算机科学系和数学系的学院院长。校园内的其他学生支持服务单位也参与其中。就更广泛的影响而言，该项目通过其财政、学术和实际支持，促进了有才华的西班牙裔美国人更多地参与计算机科学和数学领域。这导致了人才基础的增加和应届毕业生进入劳动力市场或攻读高等学位的多样性。
