Undergraduate/Graduate Student Immersion in Computer Science, Technology and Mathematics

为在完成计算机科学、技术、工程或数学(CSTEM)学士学位或研究生学位后进入劳动力市场的有学术天赋/经济困难的学生提供奖学金。创建亲和力小组是为了帮助受助人完成以项目为导向的学位要求。获奖者是从合作高中、社区学院和在校学生中招募的。每学期至少支持12名本科生和4名研究生。智力优势：所有大学奖学金获得者都必须参加该大学获奖的学者学院(SA)和一个亲和小组(AG)，该小组由一名教员与三名本科生和一名研究生组成。将社区大学转学融入AG有助于帮助这些学生为在大学取得成功做好准备。作为学者学院的成员，学生们参加提供丰富教学机会的项目，例如暑期/学年的研究项目；同行辅导；协作学习社区中心，这是一种在城市通勤大学中不常见的大学文化；特别建议/指导；GRE准备；以及职业指导和安置。更广泛的影响：活动扩大了传统上代表性不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人在STEM领域的参与，因为在强调教学、培训和学习的同时，促进了发现和理解。该计划提供综合的研究和教育活动，作为国家复制的典范。

Scholarships are being provided for academically talented/ financially needy students to enter the workforce following completion of a baccalaureate or graduate degree in computer science, technology, engineering or mathematics (CSTEM). Affinity Groups are created to assist recipients in completing project oriented degree requirements. Recipients are being recruited from partnering high schools, community colleges, and current students at the university. At least 12 undergraduate and 4 graduate students per semester are being supported.Intellectual Merit: All college scholarship recipients are required to participate in the award winning Scholars Academy (SA) at the university and an Affinity Group (AG), which consists of a faculty member paired with three undergraduates and one graduate student. Integrating community college transfers into an AG helps prepares these students to succeed in programs at the university. As members of the Scholars Academy, students participate in programs that provide instructional enrichment opportunities such as research projects during summer / academic year; peer tutoring; a Collaborative Learning Community Center, a college culture not usually found in urban commuter colleges; special advisement /mentoring; GRE preparation; and career guidance and placement. Broader Impacts: Activities broaden participation in STEM fields for traditionally underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities as discovery and understanding are advanced while emphasizing teaching, training and learning. The program provides integrated research and education activities, serving as national model for replication.
