Stimulated by the national need to increase the numbers of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) graduates, this project is providing 28 tuition scholarships per year in STEM fields over a five year period. These scholarships are being divided equally between freshmen and sophomores each year, while priority is being given to students from socioeconomically disadvantaged groups in order to play an enabling role in diversifying and broadening the nation's STEM and technological workforce.The project is serving to further engage this cohort of students by building on experiences enabled by other sources of support: (1) STEM based faculty mentoring, program structure, and peer-to-peer support throughout their undergraduate years, (2) The Summer Research Institute, a optional skill building campus based research experience for students in their freshmen/sophomore year, and (3) The Global Laboratory, the availability of a 8-10 week participation at a leading research institution abroad while working with an Oswego faculty member and international collaborators on cutting edge research problems. The PI and co-PIs are sharing the impact of this developmental scholarship model and the results of the program's assessment and evaluation at various regional and national venues including: SUNY Chief Academic Officers Annual Meeting, the Special Interest Group of Computer Science Education (SIGCSE), the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) and the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR/NCUR).

由于国家需要增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）毕业生的数量，该项目在五年内每年提供28个STEM领域的学费奖学金。这些奖学金每年平均分配给大一和大二学生，同时优先考虑来自社会经济弱势群体的学生，以便在国家STEM和技术劳动力的多样化和扩大方面发挥促进作用。该项目旨在通过建立其他支持来源的经验，进一步吸引这一群体的学生：（1）基于STEM的教师指导，课程结构，以及整个本科期间的点对点支持，（2）夏季研究所，为大一/大二学生提供可选的技能建设校园研究体验，以及（3）全球实验室，在国外领先的研究机构进行8-10周的参与，同时与奥斯韦戈的教职员工和国际合作者一起研究前沿研究问题。PI和co-PI正在分享这种发展奖学金模式的影响以及该计划在各个地区和国家场地的评估和评估结果，包括：纽约州立大学首席学术官员年会，计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组（SIGCSE），美国数学协会（MAA）和本科生研究理事会（CUR/NCUR）。
