Science Scholarship Program at Lyman Briggs College Phase 2

该项目将为莱曼·布里格斯学院(LBC)至少29名才华横溢、经济困难的学生颁发一套为期三年的奖学金。莱曼·布里格斯学院是密歇根州立大学(MSU)的一所住宿理工学院。一半的获奖者是从计划攻读自然科学学位的新生中招募的。另一半是从密歇根州立大学未申报的专业中招聘的。这个项目利用奖学金来培养这群学生对科学事业的尊重和渴望。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，再到研究生院的选择。由于LCB是一所住宿学院，奖学金获得者通过生活在一起并参加这些研讨会课程，发展成为一个有凝聚力的群体。此外，鼓励学者完成本科研究，作为他们课程的一部分，并成为学习助理，这可能会鼓励他们追求科学教育事业。此外，该项目还包括LCB校友基地，为奖学金获得者开发实习机会。该项目的智力价值在于创建了一系列研讨会课程，旨在招收学生进入科学领域，并明确强调科学领域的各种可能性。

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.
