Science Scholarship Program at Lyman Briggs College Phase 2

该项目将为密歇根州立大学（MSU）的一所住宿科学学院莱曼布里格斯学院（LBC）的至少29名有才华和经济困难的学生颁发一套为期三年的奖学金。一半的受助人是从计划攻读自然科学学位的新生中招募的。另一半则是从密歇根州立大学未申报的专业中招募的。这个项目用奖学金来培养学生干部对科学事业的尊重和追求。这些学者参加研讨会课程，重点是帮助学生了解整个科学事业，从基础研究到传播，再到研究生选择。由于LCB是一所住宿学院，奖学金获得者通过共同生活和参加这些研讨会课程，发展成为一个有凝聚力的群体。此外，学者们被鼓励完成本科研究作为他们计划的一部分，并成为学习助理，这可能会鼓励他们追求科学教育的职业生涯。此外，该项目还涉及LCB校友基地，为奖学金获得者提供实习机会。这个项目的智力价值是一系列研讨会课程的创建，旨在招募学生进入科学领域，并明确强调科学可能性的广度。

This project is awarding a set of three-year scholarships for at least 29 talented and financially needy students at Lyman Briggs College (LBC), a residential science college at Michigan State University (MSU). Half the recipients are recruited from the incoming class students who plan to pursue a natural sciences degree. The other half are recruited from within the MSU undeclared majors. This project uses scholarship money to foster a greater respect and desire to pursue science careers within this cadre of students. The scholars participate in seminar courses that focus on helping students understand the entire scientific enterprise spanning basic research, to dissemination, to graduate school options. Because LCB is a residence college, scholarship recipients develop into a cohesive cohort by living together and taking these seminar courses. Further, scholars are encouraged to complete undergraduate research as a portion of their program and to become learning assistants which may encourage them to pursue a career in science education. In addition, the project involves the LCB alumni base to develop internship opportunities for scholarship recipients. The intellectual value of this program is the creation of a series of seminar courses designed to recruit students into the sciences and explicitly highlight the breadth of possibilities in science.
