The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey provides twenty-five S-STEM scholarships each year for talented yet financially disadvantaged students pursuing baccalaureate degrees in computer science and information systems, engineering, computational science or mathematics. The program increases both undergraduate retention and placements in graduate schools or STEM careers. Special outreach activities include awareness campaigns, faculty involvement with high schools/county colleges and a computer fair. Special mentoring is provided to attract and retain female CSIS majors. Academic support is provided by especially designed courses such as 'Bridges Connecting Computer Science and Calculus' which has resulted in a 20% improvement in performance in calculus. The 'Women in Computing' course targets first year students to increase and retain female majors. Among the women who intend to major in CSIS, 100% of those in this course are still CSIS majors at the end of the second year and beyond. Tutoring in programming, mentoring and internship and research experiences are also offered. This program builds on a previous successful NSF project which resulted in a 96% retention rate and a 10% increase in GPAs among participating students. Every graduate found a major-related job or acceptance into graduate school. Seventy-three percent of Stockton students qualify for financial need and 26% are first-generation college students. This scholarship program enables students to work less and focus on academics.

新泽西的理查德斯托克顿学院每年为攻读计算机科学和信息系统、工程、计算科学或数学学士学位的才华横溢但经济困难的学生提供25个S-STEM奖学金。该计划增加了本科保留和研究生院或STEM职业的安置。特别外联活动包括提高认识运动、教师参与高中/县学院和计算机展览会。提供特别辅导，以吸引和留住CSIS专业的女性。 学术支持由特别设计的课程提供，如“连接计算机科学和微积分的桥梁”，这使得微积分的性能提高了20%。 “计算机领域的妇女”课程的目标是增加和留住女专业的一年级学生。在打算主修CSIS的女性中，100%的人在第二年年底及以后仍然是CSIS专业。还提供编程辅导、指导、实习和研究经验。 该计划建立在以前成功的NSF项目的基础上，该项目导致参与学生的留存率达到96%，GPA增加10%。每个毕业生都找到了与专业相关的工作或被研究生院录取。73%的斯托克顿学生符合经济需要，26%是第一代大学生。该奖学金计划使学生能够减少工作，专注于学术。
