The S-STEM program at California State University-San Bernardino (CSUSB), known as Mathematics and Science Scholars (MASS), promotes the success of a diverse group of academically talented, financially needy students in six STEM departments, by building on an established scholarship program. Specifically, the MASS program offers 26 annual academic scholarships to students of high academic potential and financial need, enrolled in the Departments of Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Geological Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics, as well as in the School of Computer Science and Engineering. Students are recruited from among top high school graduates, as well as top transfer applicants, through established partnerships among the College of Natural Sciences, the Office of Recruitment & Admissions, and the Office of Financial Aid. MASS scholarship recipients receive academic and career support provided by MASS faculty and staff personnel and others, including those of CoyoteCareers, McNair Scholars, and LSAMP. Successful students continue as Scholars after quarterly review, while priority registration in courses and opportunities for research and internships facilitate retention and graduation. As over 70% of CSUSB students are the first in their families to go to college, the assigned personal disciplinary mentor and co-curricular experiences are vital to the Scholars' academic progress and development as professionals. Since MASS Scholars are recruited from the economically and educationally disadvantaged population of Inland Southern California, the program serves an important role in preparing much needed STEM leaders in the region.Specific objectives of MASS are to:1) Recruit new freshmen and transfer students each year, in order to maintain 26 Scholars, as well as additional equally talented students without financial need.2) Provide mentors (faculty mentors in their disciplines) to Scholars, in addition to cohort-specific academic support services in order to promote the Scholars' continued academic success. 3) Offer co-curricular activities to develop MASS students as scientists, mathematicians, engineers and STEM teachers, including MASS-sponsored events, Departmental and College research seminars, attendance at local or other scientific conferences, participation in the seminar series sponsored by CoyoteCareers, and opportunities to participate in STEM research.4) Graduate well-prepared candidates for employment in STEM fields, or for graduate study in STEM disciplines.

S-STEM计划在加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校（CSUSB），被称为数学和科学学者（MASS），促进了一个学术上有才华，经济上有需要的学生在六个STEM部门的多元化群体的成功，通过建立在一个既定的奖学金计划。 具体而言，MASS计划为具有高学术潜力和经济需求的学生提供26个年度学术奖学金，这些学生就读于生物学，化学和生物化学，地质科学，数学和物理学系以及计算机科学与工程学院。 学生从顶尖的高中毕业生中招募，以及顶级转学申请人，通过自然科学学院，招生办公室和财政援助办公室之间建立的伙伴关系。 MASS奖学金获得者获得由MASS教职员工和其他人提供的学术和职业支持，包括CoyoteCareers，McNair Scholars和LSAMP。 成功的学生在季度审查后继续作为学者，而在课程和研究和实习机会的优先注册促进保留和毕业。 由于超过70%的CSUSB学生是家庭中第一个上大学的学生，因此分配的个人学科导师和课外经验对学者的学术进步和专业发展至关重要。 由于MASS学者是从内陆南加州的经济和教育弱势群体招募，该计划在培养该地区急需的STEM领导者方面发挥着重要作用。MASS的具体目标是：1）每年招收新生和转学生，以维持26名学者，以及其他同样有才华的学生，而无需经济需要。（教师导师在他们的学科）学者，此外，我们亦会为奖学金得主提供专业的学术支援服务，以促进他们在学术上的持续成功。 3)提供课外活动，以发展大众学生作为科学家，数学家，工程师和干教师，包括大众赞助的活动，部门和学院的研究研讨会，参加当地或其他科学会议，参加由CoyoteCareers赞助的研讨会系列，并有机会参加干研究。或STEM学科的研究生学习。
