The Idaho Scholarships for Transfer Students program at Boise State University (BSU) provides approximately 50 scholarships in civil engineering, electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science and mathematics. The overarching goals of the program are to decrease the time to graduate and increase retention for the transfer student cohort. Program objectives are to: 1) establish a transfer student cohort for engineering, computer science and mathematics stu-dents at Boise State University, 2) provide scholarships awards to the transfer student cohort ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 annually for up to four years, 3) implement programming to meet the needs of the transfer student cohort: ALEKS: a mathematics review strategy, 4) develop transfer student leader scholars from within the transfer student cohort, 5) use survey results from transfer students (to be conducted fall, 2010) to inform and adapt programming, and 6) integrate the transfer cohort into existing student support programs. The strength of the intellectual merit for this project lies in the assembled project team who demonstrate success, commitment and leadership in innovative teaching techniques, undergraduate research, and student success. BSU builds on strong programs to recruit and retain underrepresented and nontraditional students. The program provides a supportive environment for experienced transfer students as well as to students that are transferring to Boise State University for the first time. The program provides specialized program content that is tailored to the needs of transfer students. The broader impacts lie in the potential to provide a lasting legacy to the families whose sons and daughters receive scholarships, as most BSU students are first-generation degree seekers. Designed to increase the participation and retention of underrepresented groups in engineering, this program leverages existing student support efforts. It significantly raises the visibility and interest in the engineering, computer science and mathematics programs at BSU, resulting in an overall increase in the number of students pursuing these careers. Ultimately, this will result in enhanced economic growth in the Northwest.

爱达荷州博伊西州立大学（BSU）的转学生奖学金计划提供大约50个土木工程、电气工程、材料科学与工程、机械工程、计算机科学和数学奖学金。该计划的总体目标是减少毕业时间，增加转学生的保留率。计划目标是：1）在博伊西州立大学为工程、计算机科学和数学学生建立一个转学生群体，2）向转学生群体提供奖学金，每年2，000美元至10，000美元不等，最多四年，3）实施方案以满足转学生群体的需求：ALEKS：数学复习策略，4）从转学生群体中培养转学生领袖学者，5）使用转学生的调查结果（将于2010年秋季进行），以通知和调整编程，以及6）将转移队列纳入现有的学生支持计划。 该项目的智力优势在于组装项目团队，他们在创新教学技术，本科研究和学生成功方面表现出成功，承诺和领导力。BSU建立在强大的计划，以招募和留住代表性不足和非传统的学生。该计划为有经验的转学生以及第一次转学到博伊西州立大学的学生提供了一个支持性的环境。该计划提供根据转学生的需求量身定制的专业计划内容。 更广泛的影响在于为子女获得奖学金的家庭提供持久遗产的潜力，因为大多数BSU学生都是第一代学位寻求者。旨在提高参与和工程代表性不足的群体的保留，该计划利用现有的学生支持工作。它显著提高了BSU工程，计算机科学和数学课程的知名度和兴趣，导致追求这些职业的学生人数总体增加。最终，这将促进西北地区的经济增长。
