Student Transition, Achievement, Retention and Teaching

佛蒙特州农村的约翰逊州立学院正在开发环境和健康科学课程，为学术上有才华但经济上有困难的学生提供奖学金，其中许多人是家庭中第一代上大学的人。 这些计划与佛蒙特州的新英格兰三重奏向上约束数学科学项目合作，并与社区学院，高中和其他高等教育机构签订了衔接协议，使学生能够有最大的机会保留他们的专业和学术成功。 作为一所小型学校，约翰逊州立大学可以提供个性化的指导，本科生研究的机会，并就研究生院和环境科学未来的职业生涯提供建议。 这项赠款是通过刺激竞争性研究的实验方案共同资助的。

Johnson State College in rural Vermont is developing its programs in Environmental and Health Science with scholarships for academically talented but financially needy students, many of whom are the first generation in their families to attend college. These programs work in partnerships with New England TRIO Upward Bound Math-Science projects in Vermont and have developed articulation agreements with community colleges, high schools, and other institutions of higher learning, so that students can have the maximum opportunity for retention in their majors and academic success. As a small school, Johnson State can offer individualized mentoring, opportunities for undergraduate research, and advising about graduate school and future careers in environmental science. This grant is co-funded through the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.
