The GENIUS Scholarship Program provides scholarship support for incoming academically talented freshman engineering students with unmet financial need for a duration of 2 years. The scholarship awards range from $4,000 to $10,000 based on individual unmet student financial need. In totality, the GENIUS Scholarship program supports 3 cohorts of 12 students for a total of 36 students over a five year period. The scholarship program supports students majoring in any of the discipline departments that comprise the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Science. This program offers a suite of "best practices" to effectively address significant issues facing students from underrepresented groups such as: 1) Effective academic integration into the campus; 2) Effective social integration into the campus; 3) Appropriate financial support; and 4) Disillusionment with engineering.

GENIUS奖学金计划为有学术天赋的工程专业新生提供为期2年的奖学金支持。奖学金金额从4,000美元到10,000美元不等，具体数额取决于未满足学生个人的经济需求。总的来说，GENIUS奖学金计划在五年的时间里支持3组12名学生，共计36名学生。该奖学金计划支持由工程学院、建筑学院和计算机科学学院组成的任何学科部门的学生。该项目提供了一套“最佳实践”，以有效解决弱势群体学生面临的重大问题，例如：1)有效地将学术融入校园；2)有效融入校园社会；3)适当的资金支持；4)对工程的幻想破灭。
