ONSIGHT Collaborative Scholarship Project

西雅图社区学院（SCC）第六学区的三所学院将在5年内向有才华的低收入学生颁发170份奖学金，每个奖学金最高可达6,000美元，这些学生在天文学、生物学、植物学、化学、计算机科学、工程学、环境科学、地质学、数学、纳米技术、海洋学、物理学和可持续农业等领域寻求职业或转学副学士学位。这个ONSIGHT合作奖学金项目始于西雅图中央社区学院，因此，西雅图中央、西雅图北部和西雅图南部社区学院校园之间的新合作依赖并建立在既定和成功的奖学金程序、学生支持基础设施、本科研究项目、中央项目管理团队之前的经验之上。以及整个地区三个科学和数学部门的强大合作。西雅图社区学院的学生群体非常多样化。在华盛顿州的34所大学中，仅中央大学就招收了最多的未被充分代表的学生。最近的记录显示，超过一半的潜在ONSIGHT合作奖学金申请者是女性，超过30%是第一代学生，超过43%是有色人种学生，超过三分之一的家庭生活在社会经济最低的两个五分之一的家庭。因此，为ONSIGHT合作奖学金项目建立的招聘和选拔流程以及指导和支持服务结构旨在支持STEM领域代表性不足的学者的重要参与和成功。该项目的评估计划有助于建立S-STEM关于学生支持干预及其相关影响的知识基础；向地方和全国受众传播成功经验和吸取的教训，为复制提供了资料。由于三个科学和数学部门之间的必要合作，该项目具有变革性：院长，教师，学生支持服务人员和学者经常会面并共同努力，以确保学生的成功。西雅图社区学院区（Seattle Community College District）位于美国最伟大的科学技术中心之一，它发现，要发挥合作的好处，最好的办法就是共同努力，支持有前途的STEM学生。

The three colleges of Seattle Community College (SCC) District VI are awarding 170 scholarships of up to $6,000 each over a 5-year period to talented, low-income students pursuing careers or transfer associate degrees in astronomy, biology, botany, chemistry, computer science, engineering, environmental sciences, geology, mathematics, nanotechnology, oceanography, physics and sustainable agriculture. This ONSIGHT Collaborative Scholarship Project began at Seattle Central Community College, and therefore the new collaboration between the Seattle Central, Seattle North, and Seattle South Community College campuses relies on and is building upon established and successful scholarship procedures, student support infrastructures, undergraduate research programs, the previous experience of the management team on Central's project, and the powerful collaboration of three Science and Mathematics Divisions across the district. The Seattle Community Colleges serve highly diverse populations. Central alone serves the largest number of underrepresented students of any of the 34 colleges in Washington State. Recent records show that over one-half of the potential ONSIGHT Collaborative scholarship appplicant pool consists of women, over 30% are first generation, over 43% are students of color and over a third reside in households in the lowest two socio-economic quintiles. Thus the recruitment and selection processes, and the mentoring and support service structures established for the ONSIGHT Collaborative Scholarship project are designed to support the significant participation and success of scholars typically underrepresented in STEM fields. The project's evaluation plan is contributing to the base of S-STEM knowledge regarding student support interventions and their correlated impacts; dissemination of success and lessons learned to local and national audiences is providing information for replication. The project is transformative due to the necessary collaboration between the three Science and Mathematics Divisions: deans, faculty, student support service personnel and scholars are meeting and working together frequently to assure student success. Situated within one of the great science and technology centers of the nation, the Seattle Community College District finds that there is no better focus to exercise the benefits of collaboration than by working together in support of its up-and-coming STEM students.
