This project provides scholarships and support for students in 26 STEM majors within associate degree programs in order to increase the number of academically talented students earning degrees and pursuing careers in areas that are designated as national and state priorities for education. In meeting the need for an increased STEM workforce, the project functions to 1) provide up to 33 scholarships each year for financially disadvantaged students, including those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; 2) provide the support needed for successful associate degree completion; 3) provide transfer assistance to a STEM degree program in a four-year institution; and to 4) provide job placement assistance. Scholarship recipients receive ongoing academic assistance through regular meetings with faculty advisors, and peer mentoring and tutoring through an academic support center. Students explore careers through internships, meetings with industry representatives, touring of local businesses, and attending career fairs and academic and industry conferences. The program also features a mandatory one-credit course, taught by the S-STEM project team, which emphasizes real-world applications and fosters understanding of the importance of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work in STEM fields.

该项目为副学士学位课程中的26个STEM专业的学生提供奖学金和支持，以增加获得学位并在指定为国家和州优先教育领域从事职业的学术人才的数量。为了满足增加STEM劳动力的需求，该项目的职能是：1）每年为经济困难的学生提供多达33个奖学金，包括来自代表性不足的种族和民族群体的学生; 2）提供成功完成副学士学位所需的支持; 3）提供转学援助到四年制机构的STEM学位课程;以及4）提供就业安置援助。奖学金获得者通过与教师顾问定期会议获得持续的学术援助，并通过学术支持中心进行同侪指导和辅导。学生通过实习，与行业代表会面，参观当地企业，参加招聘会以及学术和行业会议来探索职业生涯。该计划还设有一个强制性的一学分课程，由S-STEM项目团队教授，强调现实世界的应用，并促进对STEM领域跨学科和多学科工作的重要性的理解。
