This S-STEM project awards 20 scholarships of up to $5,500 per student per year for up to four years to full-time financially disadvantaged students who are talented in mathematics and computer science. The proposal is essentially a systematic plan to attract, nurture, and prepare masters students to do doctoral studies in mathematics or computer science. Between 10-12 of the 20 of these awards are for graduate students, and the remainder for the undergraduates who form a feeder-pool for the graduate programs. Students are provided extensive support, including faculty mentors. Additional educational opportunities include internship and research experiences, and regularly scheduled forums and colloquia that cover research findings and topics on mathematics and computer science. The goals of this project are: (1) Increased retention of students to degree achievement; (2) Improved student support programs; (3) Improved educational opportunities for students; and (4) Increased numbers of well-educated and skilled employees in technical areas of national need. A major outcome of the project is a significant increase in the pool of minority students who will qualify for and enroll in mathematics and computer science doctoral programs.

该S-STEM项目授予每年每年5,500美元的20个奖学金，最多四年，到有才华的全日制财务不利的学生，他们在数学和计算机科学方面才华横溢。该提案本质上是一个系统的计划，旨在吸引，培育和准备硕士学生在数学或计算机科学领域进行博士学位研究。在这些奖项中，有10-12-2-2-2-12是针对研究生的，其余是为研究生课程组成喂食者的本科生。为学生提供了广泛的支持，包括教师导师。其他教育机会包括实习和研究经验，以及定期安排的论坛和座谈会，涵盖了数学和计算机科学的研究结果和主题。该项目的目标是：（1）将学生保留为学位成就； （2）改善学生支持计划； （3）改善学生的教育机会； （4）在国家需求技术领域中，受过良好教育和熟练的员工数量增加。该项目的一个主要结果是，将有资格获得数学和计算机科学博士课程资格并注册的少数族裔学生库的大幅度增加。
