This Idaho S-STEM project is providing scholarships to two cohorts of 15 freshmen students majoring in computer science, materials science, electrical, mechanical, or civil engineering. The recruiting efforts of the program help to attract underrepresented students to engineering and computer science. The program provides scholarship awards of up to $10,000 per year for two years for residential college students and $5,000 per year for two years for off campus students; as well as an opportunity for additional support of $2,000 in years three and four for students in both groups. Additionally, the program integrates scholarship recipients into the Engineering Residential College, new learning communities, research experiences, and other existing student support programs. The program strives to achieve a freshman retention rate of 80% or higher.

这个爱达荷州S-STEM项目为两批15名计算机科学、材料科学、电气、机械或土木工程专业的大一新生提供奖学金。该项目的招生努力有助于吸引未被充分代表的学生进入工程和计算机科学专业。该计划为寄宿大学生提供两年每年高达10,000美元的奖学金，为校外学生提供两年每年5,000美元的奖学金；此外，这两个群体的学生都有机会在第三和第四年获得2,000美元的额外支持。此外，该计划还将奖学金获得者纳入工程住宿学院、新的学习社区、研究经验和其他现有的学生支持计划。该计划力争新生留校率达到80%或更高。
