This project provides scholarships to able and financially needy students majoring in physics, chemistry, environmental science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. The project is implementing five new, sustainable support programs and services, and taking advantage of existing services to recruit, retain, and find jobs for more STEM majors. It is offering S-STEM scholarships of up to $6000 to each of two cohorts for their four years in college. A total of 25 students are benefiting from the scholarships, and many more students continue to benefit indefinitely from the added programs.Intellectual Merit: The academic programs into which the students go are strong, and there are academic support activities. The programs are further transforming the college and its students. The project is studying the impact of these programs, and adjusting them to enhance what works and move away from what does not.Broader Impact: The project is increasing the number and diversity of students who complete a STEM major and go on to work in the field or to further education. This project not only impacts the 25 scholars, but benefits all current and future STEM majors. Results are being disseminated through a website dedicated to the program, reported at national conferences, and published in national journals. This study benefits other colleges with aspirations to create more STEM majors, and strengthens the country's STEM infrastructure.

该项目为物理、化学、环境科学、工程、数学和计算机科学专业的有能力和经济困难的学生提供奖学金。该项目正在实施五项新的、可持续的支持计划和服务，并利用现有的服务为更多的STEM专业学生招聘、留住和找到工作。它将为两组学生的四年大学生活提供最高6000美元的S-STEM奖学金。共有25名学生受益于这些奖学金，还有更多的学生继续从这些新增的项目中无限期受益。智力优势：学生学习的专业很强，有学术支持活动。这些项目正在进一步改变学院和学生。该项目正在研究这些项目的影响，并对其进行调整，以加强有效的项目，减少无效的项目。更广泛的影响：该项目正在增加完成STEM专业并继续在该领域工作或继续接受教育的学生的数量和多样性。这个项目不仅影响了25位学者，也使所有当前和未来的STEM专业受益。结果正在通过一个专门用于该计划的网站进行传播，在国家会议上报告，并在国家期刊上发表。这项研究有利于其他渴望创造更多STEM专业的大学，并加强该国的STEM基础设施。
