Delaware State University's DSU-STEM project is integrating seamlessly with the university's NSF-funded HBCU-UP program. The DSU-STEM project is supporting cohorts of 5-6 students for 2 years in each of the first four years of the project. Prior to the start of their freshman year, DSU-STEM Scholars participate in a one week summer training camp that focuses on developing problem solving and analytical reading skills. On campus, each DSU-STEM scholar becomes part of a freshman learning community. This cohort of 5-6 students is lead by a peer mentor trained in intrusive mentoring and a faculty advisor who holds biweekly meetings with the students and the peer mentor. Each entering cohort of DSU-STEM Scholars takes a one-credit-hour professional development class that is team taught by the DSU-STEM staff. The staff also meets monthly with all Scholars for a workshop, career seminar, or scientific talk. In partnership with the Science Resource Center supported by DSU's HBCU-UP and LSAMP projects, the DSU-STEM Scholars receive assistance in applying for funded research internships at DSU or another university.

特拉华州立大学的DSU-STEM项目正在与该大学的NSF资助的HBCU-UP计划无缝集成。 DSU-STEM项目在该项目的前四年中为5-6名学生提供了2年的支持。 在大一新生开始之前，DSU-STEM学者参加了一个为期一周的夏季训练营，专注于开发解决问题和分析阅读技能。在校园里，每个DSU-STEM学者成为新生学习社区的一部分。 这位5-6名学生的队列由一位接受侵入性指导的同伴导师和一名教师顾问领导，他每两周与学生和同伴导师举行一次会议。 每个进入DSU-STEM学者队列的人都参加了由DSU-STEM员工教授的团队一学时的专业发展课程。 工作人员还每月与所有学者开会，参加研讨会，职业研讨会或科学演讲。 DSU-STEM学者与DSU的HBCU-UP和LSAMP项目支持的科学资源中心合作，获得了在DSU或其他大学申请资助的研究实习的帮助。
