The Boscovich Physics Scholars Program at Seattle University

西雅图大学的博斯科维奇物理学者项目为攻读学士学位的学生提供奖学金。或文学士物理学专业的学位。 奖学金是基于学术成绩和经济需要，并给予有才华，但经济上处于不利地位的学生获得职业生涯在干（科学，技术，工程和数学）领域。 他们涵盖了学生的未满足的经济需求高达每年$10，000，可再生四年为新生，三年为预科生和转学生，并为学生追求同时在物理和工程学士学位的额外一年。 该计划位于一个充满活力的物理系，将严格的计划与支持性和合议环境相结合。 Boscovich学者享受与教师密切互动，有机会参与发现研究，研究生院和工作申请的职业指导，以及物理学机会座谈会系列，具有不同STEM职业的物理学家。 学生，工作人员和教师在部门形成一个紧密联系的知识分子社区，在学术，社会和服务活动一起参与。 支持性的环境提高了保留率，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学，工程学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。 它特别促进了妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与，这两个群体的毕业率高于全国物理学位课程的平均水平。 除了优秀的技术培训外，参与者还受益于广泛的文科教育，强调批判性思维，全球意识以及个人和社会责任。

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.
