Green Scholarships: training future generations of environmental experts

该项目由一个生态中心管理，正在启动一个S-STEM绿色奖学金计划，为有才华的转校生提供资金支持，从两年制大学转到环境科学学科的四年制学位课程。绿色奖学金项目以现有的支持服务和项目为基础，帮助绿色学者完成学士学位，进入职场或研究生院，解决复杂的环境问题。学者进入一个生活学习社区，包括公共住房和课程，以提高研究和解决问题的能力。此外，为了建立社区意识，学者们可以进入一个中央自习室，那里有本科生奖学金项目。一个由同行、教师和工作人员组成的多方面的指导网络有助于确保学术和职业目标的实现，并确保学者们发挥出他们的最佳能力。提供关于专业发展和职业选择的讲习班，政府合作伙伴举办关于实习和就业机会的研讨会。学者们也有机会与研究教师导师合作，并通过在七个合作机构实习来体验职业培训。

This project, administered in a center for ecology, is initiating an S-STEM Green Scholarships program for talented transfer students with demonstrated financial need to matriculate from 2-year colleges to a 4-year degree program in an environmental science discipline. The Green Scholarship program builds on existing support services and programs to prepare the Green Scholars to complete a baccalaureate degree and enter the workforce or graduate school equipped to solve complex environmental problems. Scholars enter a living-learning community that includes common housing and courses to enhance research and problem-solving skills. To additionally build a sense of community, scholars have access to a central study room that houses undergraduate scholarship programs. A multifaceted mentoring network of peers, faculty and staff is helping to ensure that academic and professional goals are met and that the scholars perform at the best of their abilities. Workshops on professional development and career choices are provided, and governmental partners present seminars on internship and employment opportunities. Scholars are also offered opportunities to partner with research faculty mentors, and to experience vocational training through internships at seven partner facilities.
