The San Jose State University (SJSU) Scholars in Science project provides fifty-six scholarships for academically talented, financially needy students who are motivated to pursue careers or advanced degrees in STEM fields. These Scholars in Science are supported in obtaining degrees in at least one of five areas: Meteorology, Geology, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Scholars are recruited from freshman and sophomore courses and have completed the first semester of chemistry and a college level mathematics course, pre-calculus or higher. The Scholars are supported by a faculty mentor, the College of Science Advising Center and the PIs. The Scholars are encouraged as part of a community of learners through priority registration allowing the Scholars to enroll in common classes and allowing them the flexibility to participate in Academic Excellence Workshops, the Graduate School Preparation Seminar, the SJSU STEM Scholars in Science monthly meetings, and membership in a scientific society. Students interested in research are assisted in securing positions on and off campus and students interested in high school teaching are provided opportunities to develop their teaching skills while earning their STEM disciplinary degrees. Many of the students who qualify for this program are women, come from groups underrepresented in the sciences, and/or are the first in their families to go to college. The project focuses on the retention, education and career choices of the Scholars by providing them with structured guidance and career discovery support. In addition, skills development is provided for working collaboratively in project development and for management by allowing Scholars to select and plan some of the support activities. The Scholars in Science project is intended to serve as a model for other endeavors at San Jose State University.

该圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）学者在科学项目提供了五十六奖学金的学术才华，经济上有困难的学生谁是积极追求职业生涯或在干领域的高级学位。这些科学学者在获得学位的支持至少在五个领域之一：气象学，地质学，物理学，化学和生物学。学者是从大一和大二的课程招募，并已完成化学和大学水平的数学课程，微积分或更高的第一学期。学者们由教师导师，科学咨询中心和PI的学院支持。鼓励学者作为学习者社区的一部分，通过优先注册，允许学者参加普通课程，并允许他们灵活地参加学术卓越研讨会，研究生院准备研讨会，SJSU STEM学者科学每月会议，并成为科学社会的成员。对研究感兴趣的学生在校内和校外获得职位，对高中教学感兴趣的学生有机会在获得STEM学科学位的同时发展他们的教学技能。许多有资格参加该计划的学生是女性，来自科学领域代表性不足的群体，并且/或者是家庭中第一个上大学的人。 该项目的重点是保留，教育和职业选择的学者，为他们提供结构化的指导和职业发现的支持。此外，技能发展提供了合作项目开发和管理，让学者选择和计划的一些支持活动。“科学学者”项目旨在为圣何塞州立大学的其他努力树立榜样。
