Clemson University's Human-Centered Computing Scholars (HCCS) program supports ten financially disadvantaged doctoral students in its School of Computing. The Scholars conduct research in Human-Centered Computing and work on projects related to accessibility, biometrics, virtual humans, virtual reality, educational technologies, information technology policy and social computing. During the summer months, the project also supports two undergraduate researchers who work in teams with and are mentored by the doctoral students. Each doctoral Scholar is also given an opportunity to participate in a summer internship with a government or industrial research lab.Human-Centered Computing Scholars are recruited from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other universities in cooperation with the Alliance for the Advancement of African-American Researchers in Computing. The project is intended to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, primarily African-Americans, through engagement in research and mentoring activities.

克莱姆森大学的以人为中心的计算学者（HCCS）计划支持十个经济困难的博士生在其计算学院。 学者们在以人为中心的计算进行研究，并在与可访问性，生物识别，虚拟人，虚拟现实，教育技术，信息技术政策和社会计算相关的项目上工作。 在夏季的几个月里，该项目还支持两名本科生研究人员，他们与博士生一起工作并接受博士生的指导。 每位博士学者还有机会参加政府或工业研究实验室的暑期实习。以人为本的计算学者是与非裔美国研究人员促进联盟合作，从历史上的黑人学院和大学以及其他大学招募的。在计算中。 该项目旨在通过参与研究和辅导活动，扩大代表性不足的群体，主要是非洲裔美国人的参与。
