The University of Akron S-STEM program is providing scholarships to a single cohort of students. While stipends are only provided for four years, a five-year matriculation period was chosen to allow the students to include either a co-op or internship appointment as part of their academic program. During their first two years, the S-STEM scholars are participating in a learning community (LC). Courses associated with the LC include: pre-calculus, analytical geometry-calculus, principles of chemistry and a one-credit-hour discussion course. During the summers following their freshman and sophomore years, S-STEM students are being offered the opportunity to participate in a week-long laboratory and team building retreat at The Wilds Conservation Center. During their junior year, the S-STEM participants are meeting in a one-credit course to plan an interdisciplinary team project, which will then be completed as a course project during the students' senior year. To both leverage the university's research expertise and to enable the cohorts to participate in a truly interdisciplinary project, the senior project is in the area of bio-innovation or environmental applications.

阿克伦大学S-STEM项目为一批学生提供奖学金。虽然助学金只提供四年，但选择了五年的预科期，允许学生将合作或实习任命作为他们学业计划的一部分。在最初的两年里，S-STEM学者参加了一个学习社区(LC)。与LC相关的课程包括：微积分基础、分析几何-微积分、化学原理和一个学分小时的讨论课程。在大一和大二之后的暑假，S STEM的学生有机会参加在野生动物保护中心为期一周的实验室和团队建设务虚会。在三年级，S-STEM的参与者将参加一门只有一个学分的课程，以计划一个跨学科的团队项目，然后在学生四年级时作为课程项目完成。为了利用大学的研究专业知识，并使这些群体能够参与真正的跨学科项目，高级项目是在生物创新或环境应用领域。
