Program for Attracting and Retaining Scholars in Computer and Mathematical Sciences

该项目为10名有学术天赋和经济困难的生物、化学或物理专业学生提供奖学金，正在增加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的行列，他们同时得到了S-STEM项目的支持。学生们正在参加跨学科研讨会和项目，这些研讨会和项目由来自五个合作的STEM系的教师指导。这些活动加上广泛的学生支持服务，使学生在毕业后能够攻读更高的学位或在地区高科技公司找到工作。

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.
