The E-Scholars Program: Fostering Engineering Careers in Energy

电子学者计划为对能源相关职业（尤其是可再生能源）感兴趣的工程专业学生提供财务、学术和专业发展支持。该群体是从对能源感兴趣的工程专业学生和高危群体的目标人群中抽取的，重点是第一代大学生。 该项目目标是通过奖学金支持、学术和个人咨询以及使用三管齐下的方法进行队列建设来实现的：队列建设、队列聚焦和桥接活动。该项目建立在现有的 TRiO、McNair 和 Upward Bound 项目的基础上。 学生主要通过现有渠道（例如 Upward Bound）和新渠道（例如项目网站和工程外展）招募。 20 名学生获得四年平均每年 6500 美元的奖学金。

The E-Scholars program provides financial, academic, and professional development support for engineering students interested in energy-related careers, especially in renewable energy. The cohort is being drawn from a target population of engineering students with energy interests and from at-risk groups, with an emphasis on 1st-generation college students. The project goals are achieved through a combination of scholarship support, academic and personal counseling, and cohort building using a three-pronged approach: cohort building, cohort focusing, and bridging activities.The project builds on existed TRiO, McNair, and Upward Bound projects. Students are primarily being recruited through existing channels (e.g., Upward Bound) and new ones such as the program web site and engineering outreach. Twenty students are receiving four year scholarships averaging $6500 annually.
