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，提供财政和学术支持，导致17名学生获得计算机科学学士学位。奖学金颁发给9大一和4社区大学生转移在作为大三，与四个更多的社区大学生时，前4毕业。成熟的组织网络具有良好的业绩记录提供学术支持代表性不足的少数民族和女性CS学者的学生。这些组织为CS学者提供辅导，职业指导，奖学金，实习机会和大学研究机会。CS学者受益于一个特殊的夏季预览方向，定期干部活动，以培养一个群体的身份，和CS学者休息室自己毗邻CS实验室。CS学者被支付回报访问他们来自的高中，作为榜样。智力优点：CS职业是至关重要的，包括需求迅速增长的职业。虽然美国的人口在种族和种族上变得越来越多样化，但计算机科学却变得越来越不多样化，女性越来越少。为了满足对熟练的计算机科学工作者的需求，我们作为一个国家扭转这一趋势是至关重要的。更广泛的影响：计算机科学学者增加了17非裔美国人，西班牙裔和妇女在计算机科学的数量。虽然由现有的高水平CS本科生指导，CS学者每年为大约1,000名高中生树立榜样。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学者参与现有的研究计划。四个CS学者有机会前往全国会议。
