Mathematics, Science and Engineering Transfer Scholarships (M-SETS)

卡纳达学院是加州社区学院系统的一员，也是圣马特奥社区学院区三所学院之一，通过其“数学、科学和工程转移奖学金(M-SETS)”计划，为努力转到四年制大学完成工程、数学或科学专业本科学位的有学术天赋、经济困难的学生提供奖学金。M-SET奖项提供给在卡尼亚达学院进行最多三年全日制学术学习的学生，以及学生转到四年制大学的第一学期。对于低收入家庭的学生来说，M-SET是一个全日制专注于学业的绝佳机会。数学、科学和工程教师是学生的导师，其目标是提高学生在数学和科学方面的自我效能感，促进他们在卡尼亚达学院的成功，并为他们在数学、科学和工程专业的工作做好准备。此外，M-SETS获得者还受益于通过卡纳达学院数学、工程和科学成就(MESA)计划提供的支持系统，该计划通过多种方式提供学术和课外支持，例如：a)学术卓越工作坊和学习小组，以支持集中在核心数学、科学和工程课程的学生，使他们能够在学术上出类拔萃，学会在小组中学习，并基于共同的学术目标发展关系。B)一个MESA学习中心，为学生提供学习的场所，也是MESA讲习班、校园研讨会和与STEM有关的学生俱乐部的重点区域。C)梅萨学生休息室，作为课外社会活动和师生互动的中心。D)MESA辅导方案，提供核心数学、工程和科学课程的导师，以及学院的辅导中心，提供其他学科领域的导师。E)一名MESA顾问，具有侧重于STEM专业的专门知识，他为每个学生提供学术咨询，并根据他们的专业和他们打算转学的四年制大学制定个人教育计划。F)与加利福尼亚州几乎每一所大学签订的转学协议保证，MESA学生能够在卡尼亚达学院的最后一年秋季提前被一所四年制大学录取。G)实地考察工业和台地小组，由科学家、医生和工程师组成，帮助学生明确他们的学术和职业目标。H)访问四年制大学，为学生提供评估校园并与人和项目建立联系的机会。I)学生领导力务虚会、专业会议和作为学生成员参与专业社团，培养学生的领导力技能和动力，同时发展与其他学生和行业专业人士的关系。

Through its "Mathematics, Science and Engineering Transfer Scholarships (M-SETS)" program, Cañada College, a member of the California Community College System and one of three colleges in the San Mateo Community College District, is providing scholarship awards to academically talented, financially needy students working to transfer to a 4-year university to complete an undergraduate degree in an engineering, mathematics or science major. M-SETS awards are offered for up to three years of full-time academic study at Cañada College and in the first semester that a student transfers to a 4-year university. M-SETS is an exceptional opportunity for low-income students to focus full-time on their studies. Mathematics, science and engineering faculty are mentors to students with the goal of increasing student self-efficacy in mathematics and science, furthering their success at Cañada College, and preparing them for work in mathematics, science and engineering professions. In addition, M-SETS recipients benefit from a support system provided through Cañada College's Math, Engineering & Science Achievement (MESA) program which offers academic and extracurricular support in numerous ways, such as: a) Academic Excellence Workshops and study groups to support students who are clustered in core mathematics, science and engineering courses so that they can excel academically, learn to study in a group and develop relationships based on common academic goals. b) A MESA Study Center which provides a place for students to study as well as being a focus area for MESA workshops, on-campus seminars and STEM-related student clubs. c) A MESA Student Lounge which serves as a center of social activities and student-faculty interaction outside the classroom. d) A MESA tutoring program which provides tutors for core mathematics, engineering and science courses and the College's Tutorial Center which offers tutors for other subject areas. e) A MESA Counselor, with specific expertise focused on STEM majors, who provides academic advising and develops an individual education plan for each student given their major and the 4-year universities where they intend to transfer. f) Transfer Agreement Guarantees with nearly every university in California which enables MESA students to gain early guaranteed admission to a 4-year university during the fall of their final year at Cañada College. g) Field trips to industry and MESA panels featuring scientists, doctors and engineers to help students clarify their academic and career goals. h) Visits to 4-year universities which provide students the opportunities to evaluate campuses and to make connections to people and programs. i) Student leadership retreats, professional conferences and participation as student members in professional societies which build students' leadership skills and motivation while developing relationships with other students and industry professionals.
