Mentoring a Diverse Pipeline of Students to Achieve the Next Level of Academic Success

经济困难的社区大学转校生和研究生初学者，包括东北研究生教育联盟的学生和计算机科学、计算机系统和化学、土木、电气、工业和机械工程专业的教授，将获得每年8000美元的奖学金。总共有22名学生，其中大约18名是本科生，接受为期两年的资助，而3名或4名研究生获得一年资助，有可能再获得第二年资助。在许多情况下，研究生是那些除了本科以外还需要一些额外学习的人，才有资格进入研究生项目。该项目建立在之前的CSEMS和S-STEM奖项的基础上。

A mix of financially needy community college transfer students and beginning graduate students including those in the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate majoring in Computer Science, Computer Systems and Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Industrial and Mechanical Engineering are receiving annual scholarships of $8,000. A total of twenty two students, approximately eighteen of whom are undergraduates receive support for two years while three or four graduate students receive one year support with the possibility of a second year. In many cases, the graduate students are those who need some additional studies beyond those taken as an undergraduate to qualify for full acceptance into a graduate program. The project builds on previous CSEMS and S-STEM awards.
