Engineering and Computer Science Scholars Targeted for Academic, Retention and Success (STARS) at the University of South Florida

USF STARS计划每年为学术天赋和经济困难的学生提供25个奖学金，以增加STEM转学生的毕业保留率，重点是来自代表性不足的群体的学生，包括妇女，少数民族和残疾学生。该计划为社区学院（CC）和非工程学位授予（例如双学位）课程的学生提供了可行的转学途径。此外，该项目利用USF开发和实施的现有学生增强计划，以提高STEM转学生的招聘和保留率。

The USF STARS program is providing 25 scholarships per year to academically talented and financially needy students to increase the retention of STEM transfer students through graduation, with emphasis on students from underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, and students with disabilities. This program offers a viable transfer pathway for students at community colleges (CC) and non-Engineering degree granting (e.g. dual degree) programs into Engineering. Also, this project leverages existing student enhancement programs developed and implemented at USF to improve the recruitment and retention of STEM transfer students through graduation.
