The University at Buffalo (UB), State University of New York proposes a project entitled: Realizing UB's Readiness, Innovation and Commitment to STEM Student Support. The plan is to develop a comprehensive scholarship and support program for talented underrepresented students who wish to pursue a course of study in science, technology engineering or mathematics (STEM) at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Additional wrap around services include tutoring, supplemental instruction in STEM gatekeeper courses, faculty mentoring research opportunities service learning and paid internships. Twenty four-year $5,000 undergraduate scholarships and six two-year $10,000 graduate scholarship are to be offered. The intellectual merit of the program is the interdisciplinary alignment of UB's academic programs with research, service learning, academic support and scholarships individually developed fro each student. A key hypothesis is that it is not the lack of support services that limits student's success, but rather the intentional or unintentional decision not to participate in such programs. The broader impacts involve the integration of STEM mentoring faculty with underrepresented STEM students in the development of expanded learning communities (ELCs). The learning communities are to increase the participation of all categories of underrepresented students, by providing an extensive support network. The intent is that personalized mentoring will engage more students particularly those who may be first generation college students.

纽约州立大学布法罗大学（UB）提出了一个项目，题为：实现UB的准备，创新和对STEM学生支持的承诺。 该计划是为希望在本科和研究生阶段攻读科学、技术工程或数学（STEM）课程的有才华的代表性不足的学生制定一项全面的奖学金和支助方案。 其他环绕服务包括辅导，STEM看门人课程的补充指导，教师指导研究机会服务学习和带薪实习。 将提供24年5,000美元的本科生奖学金和6个两年10,000美元的研究生奖学金。该计划的智力价值是UB的学术课程与研究，服务学习，学术支持和奖学金的跨学科对齐为每个学生单独开发。 一个关键的假设是，它不是缺乏支持服务，限制学生的成功，而是有意或无意的决定不参加这些计划。更广泛的影响涉及STEM指导教师与代表性不足的STEM学生在扩大学习社区（ELC）的发展中的整合。 学习社区将通过提供广泛的支持网络，增加各类代表性不足的学生的参与。 这样做的目的是，个性化辅导将吸引更多的学生，特别是那些可能是第一代大学生。
