This project providing scholarships to ten academically talented and financially needy students majoring in biology, chemistry or physics is increasing the high technology workforce of the Appalachia region. These scholars join twenty five computer science and mathematics scholars being supported under a concurrent S-STEM project at the institution. The students are participating in interdisciplinary seminars and projects being led by faculty mentors from the five cooperating STEM departments. These activities coupled with a wide array of student support services are enabling the students after graduation to pursue advanced degrees or find employment in regional high technology companies.

该项目为10名生物、化学或物理专业的学术天才和经济困难的学生提供奖学金，增加了阿巴拉契亚地区的高科技劳动力。 这些学者加入了25名计算机科学和数学学者，他们在该机构的一个并行S-STEM项目下获得支持。 学生们正在参加由来自五个合作STEM部门的教师导师领导的跨学科研讨会和项目。 这些活动加上广泛的学生支持服务，使学生毕业后能够攻读高级学位或在区域高科技公司找到工作。
