Moravian College Scholars in Mathematics and Computer Science Program

摩拉维亚学院数学和计算机科学学者计划为转到摩拉维亚学院完成数学或计算机科学学士学位的社区大学生提供奖学金。学生可获得两年奖学金，必要时可在摩拉维亚学习第五学期。该计划的目标是：1)为地区社区学院的学生提供机会，否则他们将无法负担私立文理学院的教育参加摩拉维亚学院，2)加强摩拉维亚学院和该地区社区学院之间现有的和建立新的联系，3)扩大摩拉维亚学院社区学院转学生在数学和计算机科学方面的参与；4)增加从摩拉维亚学院毕业并获得数学和计算机科学学位的社区学院转学生的数量。这个项目通过为K-12学生提供入学指导、夏季桥梁项目和参与研究项目的机会，从而减轻了转学生的困难。该项目将通过暑期项目的服务学习方面对摩拉维亚学院以及利哈伊山谷产生持续的影响，该项目将使该地区K-12学生接触数学和计算机科学的有趣方面，提高对STEM领域机会的认识。社区学院和摩拉维亚学院之间的关系将得到加强，未来STEM学生安置的机会也将得到加强。

The Moravian College Scholars in Mathematics and Computer Science Program provides scholarships to community college students who transfer to Moravian College to complete a bachelor's degree in mathematics or computer science. Students are awarded scholarships for two years and, if necessary, for a fifth semester at Moravian. The objectives of this program are: 1) to provide opportunities for area community college students who otherwise would not be able to afford a private liberal arts college education to attend Moravian College, 2) to enhance existing and build new bonds between Moravian College and community colleges in the area, 3) to broaden participation of community college transfer students in mathematics and computer science at Moravian College and 4) to increase the number of community college transfer students who graduate from Moravian College with a degree in mathematics and computer science.This project eases the difficulties of transfer students by providing orientation, a summer bridge program, and opportunities to engage in research projects culminating in a conference for K-12 students. This project will have a sustained impact on Moravian College as well as the Lehigh Valley via the service-learning aspects of the summer program which exposes area K-12 students to interesting aspects of mathematics and computer science, raising awareness of STEM field opportunities. Relationships between community colleges and Moravian College will be strengthened and opportunities for future STEM student placement are enhanced.
