This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students and is supporting the scholars through a variety of structures and programs. Students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support and student scholars are enrolled in one of four engineering disciplines. More than half of the current student population on this urban campus works more that 20 hours per week and the scholarships enable students to focus on their studies to graduation. The scholarship program builds on a successful LSAMP program on campus, extending support and mentoring activities into the junior and senior years for targeted students. The methods being employed in the project include a revision of engineering courses to include active, collaborative learning, a mentorship program that involves research faculty, a targeted recruitment strategy, opportunities for networking with engineering professionals, and a learning community infrastructure.

该项目向有学术才能和经济困难的学生提供奖学金，并通过各种结构和方案支持学者。来自代表性不足群体的学生特别受到支持，学生学者被招收到四个工程学科之一。目前在这个城市校园的学生人数中有一半以上每周工作超过20小时，奖学金使学生能够专注于他们的学业，直到毕业。该奖学金计划建立在校园内成功的LSAMP计划的基础上，将支持和指导活动扩展到目标学生的大三和大四。该项目采用的方法包括修订工程课程，以包括积极的协作学习，涉及研究教师的导师计划，有针对性的招聘策略，与工程专业人士建立联系的机会，以及学习社区基础设施。
