The STAMPS (Science Technology and Math Preparation Scholarships) program is designed to meet the emerging need for a scientifically literate workforce in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina, supporting 53 scholarship recipients in 4 cohorts of 11-16 students each. The Triad (Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem) forms an urban complex with a population of 1.6 million. The Triad's cultural, social, and economic history was closely tied with tobacco farming and cigarette manufacturing, furniture making, and textiles. In this 21st century, these industries are being replaced with pharmaceutical and technology companies. STAMPS provides scholarships to students for the 4 years that they attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), with later cohorts receiving support directly from the University after S-STEM funds are completed. Efforts target all of the fundamental sciences at UNCG - Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Biology, Geographic Information Science and Earth Science, Physics and Astronomy - as well as the new Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. A focus of the program is to recruit talented financially needy students (including women and minorities) into the scholarship program and to provide wide-ranging support to them during their college careers. Scholarship recipients are recruited from area high schools, from students matriculating through the state-supported community and technology colleges or transferring from other universities, and from the current UNCG student population. The STAMPS program focuses on cohorts of approximately 14 students that remain together for as many years as possible so that the resulting cross-disciplinary student community aids in student retention. The STAMPS design includes a freshman seminar, concurrent enrollment in mathematics classes, skill/career development activities, peer mentors, and tutors.

邮票（科学技术和数学准备奖学金）项目旨在满足北卡罗莱纳州皮埃蒙特三合会对具有科学素养的劳动力的新需求，支持4组11-16名学生的53名奖学金获得者。三合会（格林斯博罗、高点和温斯顿-塞勒姆）形成了一个拥有160万人口的城市综合体。三合会的文化、社会和经济历史与烟草种植、卷烟制造、家具制造和纺织品密切相关。在21世纪，这些行业正在被制药和科技公司所取代。STAMPS为就读北卡罗来纳大学格林斯博罗分校（UNCG）的学生提供四年的奖学金，之后的学生在S-STEM基金完成后直接从大学获得支持。UNCG的所有基础科学——数学科学、计算机科学、化学与生物化学、生物学、地理信息科学与地球科学、物理学与天文学——以及新成立的纳米科学与纳米工程联合学院。该计划的重点是招募有才华的经济困难学生（包括妇女和少数民族）加入奖学金计划，并在他们的大学生涯中为他们提供广泛的支持。奖学金获得者来自地区高中，通过国家支持的社区和技术学院入学的学生或从其他大学转学的学生，以及目前的UNCG学生群体。STAMPS计划的重点是大约14名学生的群体，他们尽可能多地呆在一起，这样就形成了跨学科的学生社区，有助于留住学生。STAMPS的设计包括新生研讨会、数学课程的同步注册、技能/职业发展活动、同伴导师和导师。
