项目摘要

This project provides scholarships for academically talented students with financial need who transfer to Hope College from a community college to major in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geological and environmental sciences, mathematics, or physics. Scholarships of up to $10,000 per year are offered to up to seven transferring students each year over four years. The scholarships are renewable for a second year if the student meets eligibility requirements. The objectives of this project are to (1) improve the collaboration between local community colleges and Hope College STEM programs; (2) recruit to Hope College STEM students at community colleges who would not ordinarily consider attending the college; (3) increase the number of community college students who transfer into STEM programs at Hope College; and (4) increase the retention of community college transfers in STEM disciplines. Each year this project will identify and recruit students on seven community college campuses in Hope's geographic region. Scholarship recipients will be selected after personal interviews and review of their college admissions packets. Selection is based on promise for academic success and potential for the scholarship to affect career choice. All students supported by these scholarships are given the opportunity to participate in a summer research project at Hope College in the summer before they begin studies at Hope. They are also supported in their study by intensive faculty advising, timely and appropriate academic assistance, and education, internship and research opportunities. In addition, S-STEM Transfer Scholars participate in the Fostering a Community of Excellence in Science (FACES) program, which was launched for a cohort of incoming freshmen in the Fall of 2010. This program provides peer mentoring, career counseling and community building activities for STEM majors to help them make the transition to the college and prepare for careers in STEM fields. Intellectual Merit: This project builds upon the nationally recognized Hope STEM programs, the current Hope CSEMS and S-STEM projects, the FACES mentoring program, and the college's extensive infrastructure for student support to enable students to transfer and pursue degrees in one of the STEM disciplines. Broader Impacts: This project especially targets community college students who usually do not consider attending a private liberal arts college like Hope, thus increasing economic and racial diversity in STEM fields at Hope. A significant number of Hope STEM alumni pursue post-graduate studies in science and engineering fields. Thus graduates with strong STEM educations from Hope will not only enter the workforce, but many of them are likely to pursue post-graduate degrees in STEM fields.

该项目为有经济需要的学术才华的学生提供奖学金，这些学生从社区学院转到希望学院，主修生物学，化学，计算机科学，工程学，地质和环境科学，数学或物理学。每年高达10，000美元的奖学金在四年内每年向最多七名转学学生提供。如果学生符合资格要求，奖学金可在第二年续签。该项目的目标是：（1）改善当地社区学院与希望学院STEM项目之间的合作;（2）招募社区学院的STEM学生进入希望学院，他们通常不会考虑进入学院;（3）增加社区学院学生转入希望学院STEM项目的人数;（4）增加社区学院学生的人数。以及（4）增加STEM学科中社区学院转移的保留。每年这个项目将确定和招收学生在七个社区大学校园希望的地理区域。奖学金获得者将在个人面试和审查他们的大学录取包后选出。选择是基于对学术成功的承诺和奖学金影响职业选择的潜力。由这些奖学金支持的所有学生都有机会参加希望学院的夏季研究项目，然后再开始在希望学院学习。他们还通过密集的教师咨询，及时和适当的学术援助，以及教育，实习和研究机会来支持他们的学习。此外，S-STEM转学学者还参加了“培养科学卓越社区”（FACES）计划，该计划于2010年秋季为一批新生推出。该计划为STEM专业提供同伴指导，职业咨询和社区建设活动，以帮助他们过渡到大学并为STEM领域的职业生涯做好准备。智力优势：该项目建立在国家认可的希望STEM计划，目前的希望CSEMS和S-STEM项目，FACES辅导计划以及学院广泛的学生支持基础设施的基础上，使学生能够转学并攻读STEM学科之一的学位。更广泛的影响：该项目特别针对社区大学的学生，他们通常不考虑参加像希望这样的私立文理学院，从而增加了希望STEM领域的经济和种族多样性。大量的希望STEM校友在科学和工程领域进行研究生学习。因此，从希望与强大的STEM教育毕业生不仅将进入劳动力市场，但他们中的许多人可能会追求STEM领域的研究生学位。
