The Science Scholarship Program offers three-year scholarships for approximately 30 talented and financially needy students at Lyman Briggs College (LBC), a residential science college at Michigan State University. LBC offers a unique science experience to undergraduates combining the intimacy of a liberal arts college with innovative teaching, the research resources of a large institution and a stimulating living environment. By interlacing academics, residential life and student services, LBC is able to fulfill its educational philosophy that is based on the belief that those sharing an interest in the sciences will benefit from learning and living together. The Science Scholarship Program supports two cohorts of students who are being relieved of the stressors associated with the costs of higher education during their sophomore through senior years, while being exposed to the process of and careers in science. Half the scholarship recipients will be from within the LBC student population, each of whom anticipates pursuing a natural sciences degree. The other half will be recruited from within the pool of undeclared Michigan State majors, with these recipients enrolling into the LBC experience and receiving all the support that the College provides to its science undergraduate students. The Scholarship Program is intended to have multiple impacts on the student experience. From the start, scholarship recipients will become members of a cohesive cohort by living together and taking seminar courses that aid in their understanding and appreciation of the entire scientific endeavor. These seminar courses focus on helping students understand the scientific enterprise including basic research, dissemination, graduate school and career options. Although these courses have been initiated for the benefit of the scholarship recipients, it is anticipated that the courses will persist beyond the proposed funding period and will continue to inspire students in their pursuit of science careers. Additionally, scholarship recipients are encouraged to complete undergraduate research as a portion of their program through either on-campus research with faculty, or through internship experiences fostered through the LBC alumni base.

科学奖学金计划为密歇根州立大学的寄宿科学学院莱曼布里格斯学院（LBC）的大约30名有才华和经济困难的学生提供三年奖学金。 LBC为本科生提供了独特的科学体验，将文理学院的亲密感与创新教学，大型机构的研究资源和刺激的生活环境相结合。 通过交错学术，住宅生活和学生服务，LBC能够实现其教育理念，即相信那些对科学感兴趣的人将从学习和生活中受益。 科学奖学金计划支持两批学生，他们在大二到大四期间被解除了与高等教育费用相关的压力，同时接触到科学的过程和职业生涯。 一半的奖学金获得者将来自LBC的学生群体，他们每个人都希望获得自然科学学位。 另一半将从未申报的密歇根州立大学专业的人才库中招募，这些接受者将进入LBC体验并获得学院为其科学本科生提供的所有支持。奖学金计划旨在对学生的体验产生多重影响。 从一开始，奖学金获得者将通过共同生活和参加研讨会课程，帮助他们理解和欣赏整个科学奋进，成为一个有凝聚力的群体的成员。 这些研讨会课程的重点是帮助学生了解科学企业，包括基础研究，传播，研究生院和职业选择。 虽然这些课程是为了奖学金获得者的利益而开设的，但预计这些课程将持续到拟议的资助期之后，并将继续激励学生追求科学事业。 此外，奖学金获得者被鼓励完成本科研究作为其计划的一部分，通过与教师的校园研究，或通过实习经验通过LBC校友基地培养。
