This S-STEM project broadens the participation of underrepresented minorities and women by providing financial and academic support leading to 17 students obtaining their Bachelors degrees in Computer Science. Scholarships are awarded to 9 freshman and to 4 community college students transferring in as juniors, with four more community college students when the first 4 graduate.A network of mature organizations with proven track records provides academic support for underrepresented minority and female CS Scholar students. These organizations offer tutoring, career guidance, scholarships, access to internships, and university research opportunities for CS Scholars. CS Scholars benefit from a special summer preview orientation, regular cadre activities to foster a group identity, and a CS Scholars lounge of their own adjacent to the CS labs. CS Scholars are paid to return on visits to the high schools from which they came, serving as role models.Intellectual Merit: CS occupations are vitally important and include occupations with rapidly increasing demand. While the population in the US is becoming more ethnically and racially diverse, computer science is becoming less diverse, with fewer women. To meet the demand for skilled CS workers, it is essential that we as a nation reverse this trend.Broader Impacts: CS Scholars increase by 17 the number of African Americans, Hispanics, and women in CS. While being mentored by existing upper-level CS undergraduate students, CS Scholars serve as role models to approximately 1,000 high schools students per year. School visits and presentations are part of existing collaborations with area high schools and community colleges. CS Scholars are encouraged to participate in existing research programs. Four CS Scholars are given the opportunity to travel to national conferences.

这个S-STEM项目扩大了代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的参与，从而提供了17名学生获得计算机科学学士学位的财务和学术支持。奖学金将授予9名新生，并授予4名社区大学生作为大三学生的转学，而前4名毕业生则又有4名社区大学生。一个成熟的组织网络具有可靠的往绩记录，为代表性不足的少数民族和女性CS学者提供了学术支持。这些组织提供辅导，职业指导，奖学金，实习机会以及CS学者的大学研究机会。 CS学者受益于特殊的夏季预览导向，定期的干部活动以促进团体身份，以及与CS Labs相邻的CS学者休息室。 CS学者是为了访问他们来的高中的访问而获得的，作为榜样。智能优点：CS职业至关重要，包括迅速增加需求的职业。尽管美国的人口在种族和种族上变得越来越多，但计算机科学变得越来越少，女性较少。为了满足对熟练CS工人的需求，我们作为一个国家必须扭转这一趋势至关重要。Broader的影响：CS学者增加了17名非裔美国人，西班牙裔和CS妇女的数量。 CS学者在由现有高级CS本科生的指导下，是每年约1,000名高中学生的榜样。学校访问和演讲是与地区高中和社区学院现有合作的一部分。鼓励CS学者参加现有研究计划。有四个CS学者有机会去国家会议。
