Scholars in Science

圣何塞州立大学(SJSU)科学学者项目为有学术天赋、经济困难的学生提供56个奖学金，这些学生有动机在STEM领域追求职业或高级学位。这些科学学者获得至少以下五个领域之一的学位：气象学、地质学、物理学、化学和生物学。学者是从一年级和二年级的课程中招募的，已经完成了第一学期的化学和大学水平的数学课程，微积分预科或更高。奖学金计划由一名教师导师、科学学院咨询中心和私人投资机构提供支持。通过优先注册，鼓励学者作为学习者社区的一部分，允许学者注册普通班级，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、上海州立大学STEM科学学者月会，以及科学学会的成员资格。对研究感兴趣的学生在获得校内外职位方面得到了帮助，对高中教学感兴趣的学生在获得STEM学科学位的同时，也有机会发展他们的教学技能。许多有资格参加这个项目的学生是女性，她们来自科学界代表性较低的群体，和/或是她们家庭中第一个上大学的人。该项目通过为学者提供有系统的指导和职业发现支持，重点关注学者的留住、教育和职业选择。此外，通过允许学者选择和规划一些支助活动，为项目开发和管理中的协作工作提供了技能发展。科学学者项目旨在为圣何塞州立大学的其他努力提供典范。

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.
