Berkeley Science Network Scholarship Project (BSNSP) at the University of California, Berkeley is increasing the number of students who earn bachelor's degrees and go on to STEM careers or graduate programs in the mathematical and physical science disciplines. BSNSP's emphasis is on substantially increasing the number of students from groups historically underrepresented in these fields. BSNSP is working with the Office of Undergraduate Admission to recruit students who are competitive for admission and are eligible for S-STEM awards, with a focus on increasing diversity at Berkeley. BSNSP is providing 2-year scholarships to 52 promising low-income undergraduates in the mathematical and physical sciences to aid them in their freshmen and sophomore years and SMART scholarships from UC Berkeley are supporting students during the last two years of college. BSNSP actively supports the scholarship recipients in their decisions to select science majors.In addition to scholarship support, BSNSP is engaging the scholars in a structured network of mentoring that provides resources, encouragement, and professional development. BSNSP faculty and staff are working closely with the students to mentor them, provide new skill-building opportunities, and coordinate with other campus programs to maximize the scholarship recipients' retention to degree and preparation for graduate study or advancement into careers in the scientific workforce.

伯克利加州大学伯克利分校的伯克利科学网络奖学金项目（BSNSP）正在增加获得学士学位并继续从事STEM职业或数学和物理科学学科研究生课程的学生人数。 BSNSP的重点是大幅增加来自这些领域历史上代表性不足的群体的学生人数。BSNSP正在与本科招生办公室合作，招收有竞争力的学生，并有资格获得S-STEM奖项，重点是增加伯克利分校的多样性。 BSNSP为52名数学和物理科学领域有前途的低收入本科生提供为期2年的奖学金，以帮助他们在大一和大二学习，加州大学伯克利分校的SMART奖学金在大学的最后两年为学生提供支持。 BSNSP积极支持奖学金获得者选择科学专业的决定。除了奖学金支持，BSNSP还让学者参与一个结构化的指导网络，提供资源，鼓励和专业发展。BSNSP的教职员工正在与学生密切合作，指导他们，提供新的技能培养机会，并与其他校园计划协调，以最大限度地提高奖学金获得者的学位保留率，并为研究生学习或晋升为科学工作者的职业生涯做准备。
