Tiospaye in Science是一项奖学金计划，旨在增加从南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSMT）获得理科学士学位的美国印第安学生的数量。目标学位课程包括化学、计算机科学、地质学、数学和物理学。Tiospaye是拉科塔语，意思是“大家庭”；在这个奖学金项目中，科学大家庭支持美国印第安学生的学术、专业、文化和社会活动。通过奖学金提供的财政支持，加上通过与科学大家庭进行一对一或一对一的小组接触而促进的支持网络，成为增加美国印第安学生在科学方面取得成功的途径的强大支柱。科学大家庭包括奖学金获得者以及其他学生，教职员工，管理人员，校友/女校友，雇主，社区，学生家庭成员，部落成员和部落大学合作伙伴-最著名的是奥格拉拉拉科塔学院。Tiospaye in Science还与SDSMT的另一个奖学金项目Tiospaye in Engineering合作。通过Tiospaye in Science项目，15个奖学金将颁发给有学术天赋和经济困难的学生，特别强调招收来自联邦承认的部落的印第安人、部落高中毕业生或从部落学院或大学转学的学生。为了确保奖学金获得者的成功，该计划：招收有经济需要并致力于科学事业的有学术天赋的学生。2. 将这些学生留在一个促进学术和职业成功的环境中，同时支持学生的社会和文化传统。3. 通过强调职业规划和专业选择的课程，为这些学生提供适当的就业机会或继续教育。

Tiospaye in Science is a scholarship program that aims to increase the number of American Indian students graduating from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) with bachelor's degrees in science. The targeted degree programs are chemistry, computer science, geology, mathematics, and physics.Tiospaye is a Lakota word meaning 'extended family'; in this scholarship program, the extended family of science supports American Indian students in their academic, professional, cultural, and social activities. The financial support through the scholarships in combination with the web of support facilitated through one-on-one and one-on-small group contact with the science extended family serve as strong anchors to increase the pathways to success for American Indian students in science. The science extended family includes the scholarship recipients as well as the other students, staff, faculty, administrators, alumni/alumnae, employers, the community, student family members, tribal members, and tribal college partners - most notably Oglala Lakota College. Tiospaye in Science also partners with Tiospaye in Engineering, another scholarship program at SDSMT.Through Tiospaye in Science, fifteen scholarships are being awarded to academically talented and financially needy students with a special emphasis on recruiting Native Americans that are members of federally recognized tribes, graduates of tribal high schools, or transfers from tribal colleges or universities. To ensure success for scholarship recipients, the program: 1. Recruits academically talented students with financial need and a commitment to a science career. 2. Retains these students in an environment that promotes academic and professional success, while supporting the students socially and in their cultural traditions. 3. Places these students in appropriate employment or further education through programs emphasizing career planning and professional options.
