Students United in Classes, Community, Engineering, Service and Study Abroad (SUCCESS) Scholars Program

成功学者计划为学术上有才华的、经济上处于不利地位的学生(妇女、少数民族和残疾人)、农村社区和内布拉斯加州的六所社区学院提供有竞争力的奖学金和学术/职业发展支持活动，这些学生希望在内布拉斯加州林肯大学攻读工程学学位。这项计划允许工程学院增加其奖学金池，为新生提供额外的11个奖学金，向继续学习的学生提供30个奖学金，为转学学生提供12个奖学金，为海外学习提供16个奖项，以及20个研究奖学金奖项。这些奖学金帮助招募和留住目标人群，并支持现有的STEP计划，该计划帮助工程专业学生从内布拉斯加州的社区学院过渡到内布拉斯加-林肯大学。此外，该计划还允许学院制定四项新计划，包括研讨会、教师指导会议、研究中心和正式的服务活动，这些活动建立在现有学生发展计划的基础上，并与现有的学生发展计划相辅相成，包括学习社区和同行指导。该项目建立了一个更加多样化的学生群体和一批具有增强的学术共同体意识的学者，这对学生的学习、信心、表现和留住目标群体中的学者产生了积极的影响；从而使学者们为他们人生的下一阶段(研究生院或工程学职业)做好了更好的准备。

The SUCCESS Scholars Program offers competitive scholarships and academic/career-building support activities to academically talented, economically disadvantaged students from underrepresented populations (women, ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities), rural communities, and Nebraska's six community colleges who wish to pursue an engineering degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This program allows the College of Engineering to increase its scholarship pool to offer an additional 11 scholarships to new freshmen, 30 scholarships to continuing students, 12 scholarships to transfer students, 16 awards for study abroad, and 20 research fellowship awards. These scholarships help recruit and retain the target populations and support the existing STEP program, which helps transition engineering students from Nebraska's community colleges to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Also, this program allows the college to develop four new initiatives including seminars, faculty mentoring sessions, a study center, and formalized service activities that build upon and complement existing student development initiatives including a learning community and peer mentoring. The project builds a more diverse student population and a cohort of scholars with an enhanced sense of academic community which positively impacts student learning, confidence, performance, and retention of scholars from the target populations; thereby creating scholars more prepared for the next phase in their life (graduate school or an engineering career).
