The goal of the proposed project is to provide students with both financial and academic support to improve the educational outcomes and retention rates of low-income students in science majors at the University of Rochester. The project expands the support currently available for low-income students in the sciences and math to improve outcomes in three areas critical to educational advancement: retention to major declaration, academic improvement over time, and degree attainment. The students are participating in various activities such as intensive advising, study group sessions and tutoring in gateway courses, and a high level of faculty interaction. The project increases the numbers of low-income students who declare a science or math major and go on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in the targeted fields.

拟议项目的目标是为学生提供财政和学术支持，以提高罗切斯特大学科学专业低收入学生的教育成果和保留率。 该项目扩大了目前对科学和数学低收入学生的支持，以改善对教育进步至关重要的三个领域的成果：保留主要声明，随着时间的推移学术进步和学位获得。 学生们正在参加各种活动，如密集咨询，学习小组会议和辅导网关课程，以及高水平的教师互动。该项目增加了申报科学或数学专业并继续在目标领域获得本科和研究生学位的低收入家庭学生的数量。
