Scholarships for STEM Majors

PanHandle管道(P2)项目旨在招收、留住和提高获得科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学位的学生的表现。该项目的目标是：1.每年向至少20名STEM专业的学生提供奖学金，总共至少60名学生，重点是代表性不足的学生。学生来自三个群体：经济困难的应届高中毕业生，成年学生，以及在STEM项目中表现出学术前途的未申报的大学生。协调和整合资源以提高学术成就，并在STEM专业获得至少65%的奖学金学生获得副学士学位。3.与西德克萨斯农工大学(WTAMU)合作，为STEM专业的无缝过渡提供便利。智力价值：目标是改善学院招收的STEM学生的表现；增加获得副学位的STEM学生的数量、质量和多样性；并促进转到四年制大学。该学院与美国国家科学基金会资助的S-STEM社区学院转移STEM成功项目合作，该项目为STEM学科的社区学院转移学生提供奖学金，从而为获得四年制学位创造了一条无缝的途径。更广泛的影响：该学院是一所西班牙裔服务机构，招生人数超过11,000人，其中28%是西班牙裔。P2正在通过提供奖学金和学术提升活动来提高STEM毕业生的数量和质量。由于该学院的大部分毕业生都进入了地区劳动力市场或转到了WTAMU，提高学生的STEM能力对提高该地区STEM劳动力的能力有很大影响。

The Panhandle Pipeline (P2) project is designed to recruit, retain, and improve the performance of students obtaining science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees. The objectives of the project are to: 1. Provide scholarships to least 20 students per year and at least 60 overall who are majoring in STEM fields, with an emphasis on underrepresented students. Students come from three groups: financially-needy recent high school graduates, adult students, and undeclared college students who exhibit academic promise in STEM programs.2. Coordinate and integrate resources to increase academic success and graduate with an associate degree at least 65% of the scholarship students in STEM majors. 3. Partner with West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) to facilitate a seamless transfer for STEM majors. Intellectual Merit: The goals are to improve the performance of STEM students enrolled at the college; increase the quantity, quality, and diversity of STEM students obtaining associate degrees; and promoting transfer to a four-year university. The college is partnering in this project with the NSF-funded WTAMU S-STEM Community College Transfer for STEM Success program, which provides scholarships to community college transfer students in STEM disciplines and thus creates a seamless pathway to a four-year degree. Broader Impacts: The college is an Hispanic Serving Institution with an enrollment of over 11,000 students, 28% of whom are Hispanic. P2 is increasing the quantity and quality of STEM graduates by providing scholarships and academic enhancement activities. Since most of the graduates from the college enter the regional workforce or transfer to WTAMU, increasing the STEM abilities of students is having a great impact on increasing the capacity of the STEM workforce in the region.
