The College of Lake County NSF Scholars Program is awarding up to 30 scholarships each year to full-time Engineering Transfer, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering Technology students who have demonstrated both academic potential and financial need. Special emphasis is being given to recruitment from underrepresented groups in these academic areas - including women, minority students, and the disabled. Scholars are being organized into cohorts, which are subsequently supported by activities such as individualized advisement, structured tutorials, mentoring, and a summer orientation.The College of Lake County (CLC) S-STEM scholar program provides a model for increasing the recruitment and retention rate of students underrepresented in these STEM disciplines. Once fully established and evaluated, many of the mentoring and student support strategies used in this project can be implemented and continued with nominal cost to an institution. With institutions like CLC accounting for almost half of the nation's STEM undergraduates and over half of all minorities in higher education, the project offers the opportunity for broad impact on the STEM pipeline.

莱克县学院 NSF 学者计划每年向表现出学术潜力和经济需求的全日制工程转学、计算机科学和电气工程技术学生颁发多达 30 份奖学金。我们特别重视从这些学术领域代表性不足的群体中招募人才，包括女性、少数民族学生和残疾人。学者们被组织成小组，随后通过个性化建议、结构化辅导、指导和暑期培训等活动提供支持。莱克县学院 (CLC) S-STEM 学者计划为提高这些 STEM 学科中代表性不足的学生的招募和保留率提供了一个模型。 一旦完全建立和评估，该项目中使用的许多指导和学生支持策略就可以实施并继续，而机构只需支付象征性成本。 像 CLC 这样的机构拥有全国近一半的 STEM 本科生和高等教育中所有少数族裔的一半以上，该项目为 STEM 管道提供了广泛影响的机会。
