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：招聘，保留和支持本地第一代本科科学家项目项目为印第安纳州西部的二十四个，第一代学生提供DEPAUW University奖学金，他们在以下纪律之一中专业：生物学，化学，化学，化学，生物化学，计算机科学，计算机科学，地球科学，数学或物理学或物理学或物理学或物理学。朱利安学者项目：1。为印第安纳州地区的地区服务与大学历史上最有联系的地区，通过向科学的出色教育向可能没有机会的合格学生提供了出色的教育。2。为城市和农村学生提供一种通过相互互动来扩大学术和社会观点的机制。3。通过选择居住在Depauw.4附近的地理位置的学生来维持保留水平并建立招聘率。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增强招聘。朱利安学者项目将利用DePauw大学为第一代学生的优秀保留率，第一年的一年级研讨会和建议计划，科学研究Fellows计划，科学妇女的科学课程，并为学生提供可享有可置换研究的教师。朱利安学者参与以下内容：一项建立且成功的夏季协作科学研究项目，将高中生及其老师与大学生及其教授联系起来，以及科学的讲故事（S4S）编程，将科学描述为可访问的，动态，动态和协作，强化了B2S对士兵和吉利亚学者的竞争力，并为他们提供了熟练的培训，并逐渐熟练地训练了大型的精神运动。 朱利安学者项目的招聘和保留计划包括： - 建立蓝图，以支持危险，农村和市中第一代大学人口； - 开发一个原型，用于使用城市和农村学生互相支持并增加多样性； - 挖掘一个可以帮助加强印第安纳州居民和未来劳动力的新学生； - 利用成功的印第安纳21世纪学者计划来增加STEM学位课程中代表性不足的群体的入学率； - 强调研究是从事科学职业的动力，对大学的方向以及信心和社区建设者的介绍； - 通过利用成功的科学研究研究员计划的组成部分来创造跨学科的对话水平； - 为成人就业做准备，否则将没有机会就读DePauw大学；并且 - 生成其他证据支持朱利安学者项目的行动理论。
