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项目正在与该大学由NSF资助的HBCU-Up项目无缝结合。在该项目的头四年中，该项目每年为5-6名学生提供为期两年的支持。在大一开始之前，苏黎世州立大学-STEM奖学金学生参加为期一周的夏令营，重点是培养解决问题和分析阅读的技能。在校园里，每一位DSU-STEM奖学金获得者都会成为新生学习社区的一部分。这个由5-6名学生组成的队伍由一名接受过侵入性指导培训的同行导师和一名教员顾问领导，后者每两周与学生和同伴导师举行一次会议。每一批进入该学院的学生都要上一堂一个学分的职业发展课程，由该校的工作人员以团队形式授课。工作人员还每月与所有学者会面，举行研讨会、职业研讨会或科学讲座。通过与科学资源中心的合作伙伴关系，在得克萨斯州立大学的HBCU-UP和LSAMP项目的支持下，得克萨斯州立大学的STEM学者在申请到得克萨斯州立大学或另一所大学进行有资助的研究实习时得到帮助。
