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、保留和支持当地第一代本科科学家项目为印第安纳州中西部的24名第一代学生提供德堡大学奖学金，他们主修下列学科之一：生物学、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.为印第安纳州历史上与该大学关系最密切的地区服务，为那些本来可能没有这种机会的合格学生提供优秀的科学教育。为城乡学生提供一种通过互动拓宽他们的学术和社会视野的机制。通过选择地理上居住在德波市附近的学生来维持留校水平并提高招聘率。朱利安学者计划通过从印第安纳州的21世纪学者项目中选择尽可能多的学生来增加招生。朱利安学者项目利用了德堡大学对第一代学生的出色保留率，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，以及为学生提供可选研究和实习经验的坚定的教职员工。朱利安学者计划参与了以下项目：通往科学的桥梁(B2S)计划，这是一个建立并成功的暑期合作科学研究项目，将高中生和他们的老师与大学生和他们的教授联系起来；以及讲科学(S4S)计划，该计划将科学描述为可访问、动态和协作，加强了朱利安学者的B2S科学方法，并激励他们坚持毕业。朱利安学者项目的招募和保留计划包括：--建立支持高危、农村和市内第一代大学生人口的蓝图；--开发一个利用城市和农村学生相互支持和增加多样性的原型；--挖掘能够帮助加强印第安纳州居民和未来劳动力教育的新学生群体；--利用成功的印第安纳21世纪学者项目，增加STEM学位课程中代表不足的群体的入学人数；--突出研究是科学职业生涯的动力、面向大学以及信心和社区的建设者；-通过利用成功的科学研究学者计划的组成部分，创造更高水平的跨学科对话；-为成人就业做好准备，否则他们将没有机会进入德堡大学；以及-产生更多的证据，以支持支撑朱利安学者项目的行动理论。
