This S-STEM scholarship program will provide support for first and second year engineering students at Southern Methodist University (SMU). The goal of the "Today's Scholars, Tomorrow's Leaders: Identifying and Developing Engineers as Leaders(IDEAL)" program is to improve the retention of financially needy students during the first two years of their engineering program by increasing their engagement in curricular and extra-curricular programs. This goal is realized through the implementation of four objectives: 1) identifying incoming engineering students with high leadership potential; 2) developing students' leadership skills through mentoring, tutoring, and work experience; 3) building academic excellence; and 4) fostering community building through the engineering residence hall. The IDEAL scholars program will support majors from various SMU School of Engineering departments: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Environmental and Civil Engineering, and Engineering Management, Information, and Systems. IDEAL Students who successfully complete the first two years of an engineering program will be supported in the third and fourth years by scholarships from the SMU Engineering Fellows program.

该S-STEM奖学金计划将为南卫理公会大学（SMU）一年级和二年级的工程专业学生提供支持。“今天的学者，明天的领导者：识别和培养工程师作为领导者（IDEAL）”计划的目标是通过增加经济困难学生对课程和课外活动的参与度，提高他们在工程项目前两年的保留率。课程。这一目标是通过四个目标的实施来实现的：1）确定具有高领导潜力的新生工程学生; 2）通过指导，辅导和工作经验发展学生的领导技能; 3）建立卓越的学术成就;和4）通过工程宿舍促进社区建设。IDEAL学者计划将支持SMU工程学院各部门的专业：机械工程，电气工程，计算机科学与工程，环境与土木工程，工程管理，信息和系统。成功完成工程项目前两年的学生将在第三和第四年获得SMU工程研究员项目奖学金的支持。
