The S-STEM scholarship program in the School of Engineering and Technology at Alabama A&M University (AAMU) supports 25 low-income and talented scholars per year up to graduation in the civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, technology and computer science programs. The amount of each scholarship is up to $6000 per year for a 4-year period. The primary objectives of this project are: 1) provide financial support for talented and low-income African-American students in engineering, technology and computer science; 2) identify the special needs of low-income students and provide academic support to these students in the form of supplemental math and science courses, faculty and peer monitoring, student/faculty research opportunities, attending technical and scientific workshops and independent study opportunities; 3) provide the S-STEM scholars with solid career counseling that includes preparation for graduate schools, service learning opportunities, research and internship employment opportunities in national need areas and effective employment strategies such as resume writing, and interviewing skills; and 4) address the local educational and industrial needs.

阿拉巴马农工大学 (AAMU) 工程与技术学院的 S-STEM 奖学金计划每年为土木工程、电气工程、机械工程、技术和计算机科学项目的 25 名低收入和才华横溢的学者提供支持，直至毕业。每项奖学金的金额每年最高为 6000 美元，为期 4 年。该项目的主要目标是： 1）为工程、技术和计算机科学领域有才华和低收入的非裔美国学生提供财政支持； 2) 确定低收入学生的特殊需求，并以补充数学和科学课程、教师和同伴监督、学生/教师研究机会、参加技术和科学研讨会以及独立学习机会的形式向这些学生提供学术支持； 3）为S-STEM学者提供扎实的职业咨询，包括研究生院准备、服务学习机会、国家需求领域的研究和实习就业机会以及有效的就业策略，如简历撰写和面试技巧； 4) 满足当地的教育和工业需求。
