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.

该项目将在密歇根州立大学（MSU）的住宅科学学院（LBC）莱曼·布里格斯学院（LBC）莱曼·布里格斯学院（LBC）授予至少29名才华横溢且在财务上有需要的学生的三年奖学金。一半的接收者是从计划攻读自然科学学位的即将到来的班级学生中招募的。另一半是从MSU内部未宣布的专业招募的。该项目利用奖学金来促进在学生干部中从事科学职业的更加尊重和渴望。学者参加了研讨会课程，着重于帮助学生了解整个基础研究，传播的整个科学企业，以进行研究生院。由于LCB是一所居住学院，因此奖学金获得者通过共同生活和参加这些研讨会课程而发展成为凝聚力的队列。此外，鼓励学者作为其计划的一部分完成本科研究，并成为学习助理，以鼓励他们从事科学教育职业。此外，该项目涉及LCB校友基地，以为奖学金获得者开发实习机会。该计划的智力价值是创建一系列研讨会课程，旨在将学生招募到科学中，并明确强调科学的可能性广度。
