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).

在国家需要增加科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）毕业生数量的刺激下，该项目在5年内每年提供28个STEM领域的学费奖学金。这些奖学金每年在大一和大二学生之间平均分配，同时优先考虑来自社会经济弱势群体的学生，以便在多样化和扩大美国的STEM和技术劳动力方面发挥促进作用。该项目旨在通过其他支持来源提供的经验，进一步吸引这群学生：(1)在整个本科阶段以STEM为基础的教师指导、项目结构和点对点支持；(2)暑期研究所，为大一/大二的学生提供可选的技能培养校园研究经验；(3)全球实验室，在国外领先的研究机构参与8-10周，与奥斯威戈教师和国际合作者一起研究前沿研究问题。项目负责人和合作项目负责人在不同的地区和国家场所分享了这一发展奖学金模式的影响以及项目评估和评估的结果，包括：纽约州立大学首席学术官年会、计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组（SIGCSE）、美国数学协会（MAA）和本科研究委员会（CUR/NCUR）。
