The Boscovich Physics Scholars Program at Seattle University

西雅图大学的博斯科维奇物理学者计划为攻读物理学专业学士学位的学生提供奖学金。该奖学金基于学业成绩和经济需求，为有才华但经济条件差的学生提供STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）领域的职业机会。这些奖学金每年可为学生提供高达1万美元的未满足的经济需求，新生可续签四年，二年级学生和转学生可续签三年，同时攻读物理和工程学士学位的学生可续签一年。该项目位于充满活力的物理系，将严格的项目与支持性的大学环境相结合。博斯科维奇学者享受与教师的密切互动，有机会参与发现研究，为研究生院和工作申请提供职业指导，以及物理机会研讨会系列，以不同STEM职业的物理学家为特色。该系的学生、教职员工和教师组成了一个紧密结合的知识分子社区，共同参与学术、社会和服务活动。支持性的环境提高了学生的保留率，提高了学习成绩，并鼓励学者追求STEM职业。毕业生通常会继续攻读物理、工程或数学方面的优秀研究生课程，或者在工业领域从事STEM工作。该计划支持增加STEM领域人才数量的国家优先事项。它特别促进了女性和未被充分代表的少数民族的参与，这两个群体的毕业率都高于全国物理学位课程的平均水平。除了他们优秀的技术培训，参与者还受益于广泛的文科教育，强调批判性思维，全球意识，个人和社会责任。

The Boscovich Physics Scholars Program at Seattle University provides scholarships to students working towards a B.S. or B.A. degree with a major in physics. The scholarships are based on both academic merit and financial need and are giving talented but economically disadvantaged students access to careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. They cover a student's unmet financial need up to $10,000 per year, renewable for four years for incoming freshmen, three years for sophomores and transfer students, and an additional year for students pursuing simultaneous bachelor's degrees in both physics and engineering. The program is housed in a vibrant physics department that combines a rigorous program with a supportive and collegial environment. Boscovich Scholars enjoy close interaction with faculty, opportunities to participate in research of discovery, career mentoring for graduate school and job applications, and the Physics Opportunities Colloquium series, featuring physicists in diverse STEM careers. Students, staff, and faculty in the department form a tightly-knit intellectual community, engaging together in academic, social, and service activities. The supportive environment enhances retention, increases academic performance, and encourages scholars to pursue STEM careers. Graduates routinely go on to excellent graduate programs in physics, engineering, or mathematics or to STEM jobs in industry. The program supports the national priority of increasing the number of talented people in STEM fields. It particularly promotes participation by women and underrepresented minorities, and graduation rates in both of these groups are above the national average for physics degree programs. In addition to their excellent technical training, participants also benefit from a broad liberal arts education that emphasizes critical thinking, global awareness, and personal and social responsibility.
