Twenty undergraduate students are receiving S-STEM scholarships in the pursuit of either an Associate or Baccalaureate degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry in the Department of Chemistry at Idaho State University (ISU). Of these scholarships, eight are four years and are designed for in-coming freshman; twelve are for an average of two years, targeting previously enrolled students and transfer students. This project focuses on undergraduates from a region of the country with a disproportionate number of economically-disadvantaged students. This effort links with other ISU assets, including both an American Chemical Society-supported Project SEED program and specialized on-campus recruiting staff that works with under-represented students and facilitates their academic success after receiving a scholarship. With proper financial and academic support, student retention and placement of students upon graduation will be enhanced. The project's objectives are to provide support services to ensure a retention rate of at least 70% among scholarship holders; and that after obtaining a degree, to have at least 90% of scholarship recipients either continue their education or enter into STEM careers.

二十名本科生正在接受S-STEM奖学金，在爱达荷州州立大学（ISU）化学系攻读化学或生物化学副学士或学士学位。在这些奖学金中，有八项为期四年，专为新生设计;十二项平均为期两年，针对以前入学的学生和转学生。该项目的重点是来自该国一个经济困难学生人数不成比例的地区的本科生。这一努力与其他ISU资产联系在一起，包括美国化学学会支持的项目种子计划和专门的校园招聘人员，他们与代表性不足的学生合作，并在获得奖学金后促进他们的学术成功。 在适当的财政和学术支持下，学生的保留和毕业后的学生安置将得到加强。该项目的目标是提供支持服务，以确保奖学金获得者的留存率至少达到70%;并在获得学位后，至少有90%的奖学金获得者继续接受教育或进入STEM职业。
