Green Scholarships: training future generations of environmental experts

该项目由一个生态中心管理，正在启动S-STEM绿色奖学金计划，面向有经济需求的人才转学学生，他们需要从两年制大学进入环境科学学科的四年制学位课程。绿色奖学金计划建立在现有的支持服务和计划的基础上，为绿色学者完成学士学位和进入劳动力或研究生院做好准备，以解决复杂的环境问题。学者们进入一个生活学习社区，其中包括共同的住房和课程，以提高研究和解决问题的技能。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、教职员工组成的多方面的指导网络正在帮助确保实现学术和专业目标，并确保学者们尽其所能。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。学者们还有机会与研究人员导师合作，并通过在七个合作伙伴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.
