Engineering the Husky Promise

通过S-STEM项目“Engineering the Husky Promise”，华盛顿大学（UW）为华盛顿大学工程学院有才华的低收入本科生建立了一个奖学金计划，从而支持“Husky Promise”-为符合佩尔助学金资格的华盛顿州居民提供全额学费和学费奖学金的保证。 在S-STEM计划中，每个学生每年可获得高达9000美元的奖学金，最长可达两年，具体取决于经济需要。 该计划每年至少支持15名学生，如果不是所有学生都有这么多未满足的需求，也会更多。 S-STEM奖学金提供的大量财政支持为经济困难的学生提供了更多的时间来专注于他们的学习，因为他们可以在兼职工作中工作更少的时间。 除了奖学金，工程学院教授担任导师S-STEM学者，特别是通过本科研究，学者提供了一个机会，发展专业的投资组合。 学院还为工程社区的奖学金获得者预留了名额，这是工程和工程预科学生的一个令人兴奋的体验式学习机会。 四个驻地顾问，主要是工程专业的学生，连接社区成员与资源和方案，并作为同行导师。 现场的学术支持，如下降在咨询会议，注册援助，部门和企业信息会议，辅导会议，由工程学院提供。 社会和信息活动由顾问和学院共同策划。“打造赫斯基承诺”的具体目标是： - 少数民族学生在工程中的代表性不足，包括那些来自当地计划（华盛顿州GEAR-UP，梅萨和雷尼尔学者），获得至少20%的S-STEM奖学金; - 女性获得至少35%的S-STEM奖学金; - 转学生，其中一半将来自UW梅萨合作伙伴社区学院，获得至少25%的S-STEM奖学金， - 81%的S-STEM新生在大二结束时被UW学院的工程系录取; - 95%的S-STEM转学生在三年内从工程学院毕业; - 至少有60%的S-STEM获奖者参与了工程学院教师的本科研究。为了在未来为学生服务，并在S-STEM项目的基础上，工程学院正在筹集可持续的捐赠，用于额外的奖学金。

Through the S-STEM project "Engineering the Husky Promise," the University of Washington (UW) establishes a scholarship program for talented low-income undergraduates in UW's College of Engineering, thereby supporting the "Husky Promise" - a guarantee for full tuition and fee scholarships for Pell Grant-eligible Washington State residents. In the S-STEM program, each student is awarded a scholarship for up to $9000 per year for up to two years, depending on financial need. The program supports at least 15 students per year, and more, if not all students have this much unmet need. The significant financial support offered by S-STEM scholarships provides financially disadvantaged students additional time to focus on their studies, because they can work fewer hours at part-time jobs. Beyond the scholarships, College of Engineering professors serve as mentors to S-STEM Scholars, especially through undergraduate research, and the scholars are offered an opportunity to develop a professional portfolio. The College also reserves slots for scholarship recipients in its Engineering Community, an exciting experiential learning opportunity for engineering and pre-engineering students. Four Resident Advisers, mostly engineering students, connect Community members with resources and programs and act as peer mentors. On-site academic support, such as drop-in advising sessions, registration assistance, departmental and corporate information sessions, and tutoring sessions, is provided by the College of Engineering. Social and informational events are planned by both the Advisors and the College.Specific objectives for "Engineering the Husky Promise" are that: - minority students underrepresented in engineering, including those from local programs (Washington State GEAR-UP, MESA, and Rainier Scholars), receive at least 20% of the S-STEM scholarships; - women receive at least 35% of the S-STEM scholarships; - transfer students, of which half will be from UW MESA partner Community Colleges, receive at least 25% of the S-STEM scholarships, - 81% of the S-STEM freshmen be admitted to a UW College of Engineering Department by the end of the sophomore year; - 95% of S-STEM transfer students from community colleges graduate from a College of Engineering Department within three years; and - at least 60% of S-STEM recipients participate in undergraduate research with College of Engineering faculty.In order to serve students in the future and build on the basis of the S-STEM program, the College of Engineering is raising a sustainable endowment for additional scholarships.
