Twenty academically talented students at the University of Central Florida (UCF) are being selected each year from science and engineering disciplines, with a special focus on mathematics and computer sciences, for scholarships in the range of $4,000 to $10,000 depending on financial need. Recruited students are in one of the following three groups (a) recent transfers to the university, (b) freshman undergraduate students and (c) first-year graduate students. New transfer students to UCF are being provided moral and financial support to help them with the transition and to ensure they will successfully complete the bachelor's degree in a STEM field. In particular, juniors are in a critical period in their university studies because it is when they embark on advanced courses in the major. The support of the S-STEM mentors ensures these transfer students are being supported during this critical period of time. The support for freshman undergraduates is providing them with much-needed study skill development and academic guidance when they are adjusting to a more independent life. Support for incoming graduate students is stabilizing their transition to heightened demands and is providing release from employment duties so they can focus on their academic endeavors. UCF has a significant population of underrepresented students and more than 80% of transfer and 60% of entering freshmen have demonstrated financial need; thus, the S-STEM scholarships are appealing to a broad range of students.Carefully designed activities are engaging all the student participants in active research seminars, lectures, departmental and college colloquia of the various academic units at UCF involved with the S-STEM project. These activities are providing incentives to keep the students engaged in their STEM major and motivating them to excel academically. Students completing the year-long project will be streamlined into existing research groups that have good industrial partnerships. These industrial connections will be used to place qualified students directly into the workforce.

中央佛罗里达大学（UCF）每年从科学和工程学科中选出20名学术才华出众的学生，特别关注数学和计算机科学，根据经济需要提供4，000美元至10，000美元的奖学金。招收的学生属于以下三个群体之一：（a）最近转学到大学的学生，（B）大学一年级的学生和（c）一年级的研究生。新转学到UCF的学生将获得道德和财政支持，以帮助他们完成过渡，并确保他们成功完成STEM领域的学士学位。特别是大三学生正处于大学学习的关键时期，因为这是他们开始学习该专业高级课程的时候。S-STEM导师的支持确保了这些转学生在这一关键时期得到支持。对大一学生的支持是为他们提供急需的学习技能发展和学术指导，当他们适应更独立的生活。对即将入学的研究生的支持正在稳定他们向更高要求的过渡，并提供就业职责的释放，以便他们能够专注于他们的学术努力。 UCF拥有大量代表性不足的学生，超过80%的转学生和60%的新生都表现出经济需求;因此，S-STEM奖学金吸引了广泛的学生。精心设计的活动吸引了所有学生参与积极的研究研讨会，讲座，UCF各学术单位参与S-STEM项目的部门和学院座谈会。 这些活动提供激励措施，以保持学生从事他们的STEM专业，并激励他们在学术上出类拔萃。完成为期一年的项目的学生将被精简到现有的研究小组，有良好的工业伙伴关系。这些工业联系将用于将合格的学生直接投入劳动力。
