This project is awarding at least 20 scholarships to academically talented but financially needy students who are pursuing a physics degree at the University of Arkansas. Recruitment efforts are targeting both entering freshman and community college students who are transferring to the university and seeking baccalaureate degrees. Support structures for participants include mentoring of scholars by faculty, peer-mentoring, a flourishing Society of Physics Students club, a strong student-centered advising program and a research-based introductory physics sequence designed to serve as a cohort-building vehicle. This program will build upon student support structures developed by successful MSP and CSEMS grants to encourage students majoring in physics to persist in the major and become effective members of the workforce. The University of Arkansas serves a large population of students from low socioeconomic status (low-SES) and this project promises to increase diversity in a discipline where historically few students are identified as from a low-SES.

该项目将向在阿肯色州大学攻读物理学学位的学术天赋但经济困难的学生颁发至少20项奖学金。招聘工作的目标是进入大一和社区学院的学生谁是转移到大学和寻求学士学位。参与者的支持结构包括教师对学者的指导，同行指导，蓬勃发展的物理学学生俱乐部协会，以学生为中心的强大咨询计划以及旨在作为队列建设工具的基于研究的介绍性物理序列。 该计划将建立在成功的MSP和CSEMS赠款开发的学生支持结构的基础上，以鼓励物理专业的学生坚持专业并成为劳动力的有效成员。 阿肯色州大学为大量社会经济地位低（低社会经济地位）的学生提供服务，该项目有望增加学科的多样性，历史上很少有学生被确定为来自低社会经济地位。
