The Julian Scholars: Recruiting, Retaining and Supporting Local, First-Generation Undergraduate Scientists project provides DePauw University scholarships for twenty-four, first-generation students in west-central Indiana who major in one of the following disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Geosciences, Mathematics or Physics. The Julian Scholars project:1. Serves the region of the State of Indiana most historically linked to the University, by offering an excellent education in the sciences to qualified students who might otherwise not have such an opportunity.2. Provides urban and rural students a mechanism for widening their academic and social viewpoints through interactions with each other.3. Maintains retention levels and builds recruitment rates by selecting students who reside geographically near DePauw.4. Enhances recruitment by selecting as many students as possible from Indiana's 21st Century Scholars Program.The Julian Scholars project capitalizes on DePauw University's excellent retention rates for first-generation students, the First-Year Seminar and Advising program, the Science Research Fellows program, the Women in Science program, and committed faculty members who offer students optional research and internship experiences. Julian Scholars participate in the following: the Bridge to Science (B2S) program, an established and successful summer collaborative science research project linking high school students and their teachers with college students and their professors, and Storytelling for Science (S4S) programming, which describes science as accessible, dynamic and collaborative, reinforcing the B2S approach to science for Julian Scholars and motivating them to persist to graduation. Recruitment and Retention Plans for the Julian Scholars project include: -- Establishing blueprints for supporting at-risk, rural and inner-city first-generation college populations; -- Developing a prototype for using urban and rural students to support each other and to increase diversity;-- Tapping a new pool of students who can help strengthen the education of Indiana's residents and future workforce; -- Leveraging the successful Indiana 21st Century Scholars program to increase enrollments of underrepresented groups in STEM degree programs; -- Highlighting research as a motivator for careers in science, an orientation to the university and a confidence and community builder; -- Creating an increased level of cross-disciplinary conversation by leveraging components of the successful Science Research Fellows Program; -- Preparing a diverse population for adult employment that would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend DePauw University; and-- Generating additional evidence to support the theory of action which undergirds the Julian Scholars project.

朱利安学者：招募，留住和支持当地，第一代本科科学家项目提供了二十四个DePauw大学奖学金，第一代学生在中西部印第安纳州谁在以下学科之一的专业：生物，化学，生物化学，计算机科学，地球科学，数学或物理。朱利安学者项目：1。服务于历史上与大学联系最紧密的印第安纳州地区，为合格的学生提供科学方面的优秀教育，否则他们可能没有这样的机会。为城乡学生提供了一个通过相互交流拓宽学术和社会观点的机制。通过选择居住在DePauw附近的学生来保持保留水平并提高招聘率。4.通过从印第安纳州的21世纪学者计划中选择尽可能多的学生来提高招生能力。朱利安学者项目利用了DePauw大学对第一代学生的优秀保留率，第一年研讨会和咨询计划，科学研究员计划，科学中的女性计划以及致力于为学生提供可选研究和实习经验的教师。朱利安学者参加以下活动：科学之桥（B2 S）计划，一个建立和成功的夏季合作科学研究项目，将高中生及其教师与大学生及其教授联系起来，以及科学故事（S4 S）编程，它将科学描述为可访问，动态和协作，加强朱利安学者的B2 S科学方法，并激励他们坚持到毕业。 朱利安学者项目的招聘和保留计划包括：-制定支持处于危险中的农村和内城第一代大学人口的蓝图; -开发利用城市和农村学生相互支持和增加多样性的原型;-开发一批新的学生，他们可以帮助加强印第安纳州居民和未来劳动力的教育;- 利用成功的印第安纳州21世纪学者计划，增加STEM学位课程中代表性不足的群体的入学人数; -强调研究是科学职业的动力，大学的方向以及信心和社区建设者;- 通过利用成功的科学研究员计划的组成部分，提高跨学科对话的水平;--为成年人就业做好准备，否则他们就没有机会上迪堡大学;--产生更多的证据来支持朱利安学者项目的行动理论。
