The Promote-Retain-Invest in Science and Mathematics (PRISM) Women Scholars Program is designed to: (a) Attract current and future students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. (b) Improve educational opportunities for undergraduate women pursuing STEM majors. (c) Increase retention of STEM majors to degree achievement. (d) Improve student support programs for women pursuing STEM careers. The program is aimed at encouraging high academic achievement, promoting research and internship opportunities, encouraging outreach and community service, and preparing recipients for careers and/or continued studies in STEM-related fields. The program also encourages recipients to network with their peers, provide and receive peer mentoring support, and engage in high quality group learning activities. The ultimate goal is to develop well-rounded and highly-skilled STEM graduates who are prepared to meet the national need for more American scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Intellectual Merit: The program benefits women who are pursuing majors in biology, chemistry, computational mathematics, mathematics, and statistics and actuarial mathematics, and/or completing the requirements for the dual degree program in engineering in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame. The college is using S-STEM grant funds to provide ten scholarships in each of two cohorts for students entering their sophomore year. Scholarship recipients continue to receive support from the program through the remainder of their undergraduate career, provided they maintain academic and social good standing and make acceptable progress toward the completion of their degree. For the 20 recipients, the scholarships provide financial support, as well as opportunities to gain valuable research experience, and to interact with mentors and other professionals in their field. Broader Impact: The program emphasizes the priorities of integrating teaching and research, promoting diversity, and encouraging scientific understanding that benefits society. It helps produce students well prepared to succeed in fields where women have traditionally been underrepresented by helping to develop individuals capable of meeting the national need for more American scientists and engineers.

促进-保留-投资于科学和数学女学者方案旨在：（a）吸引当前和未来的学生学习科学、技术、工程和数学学科。(b)为攻读STEM专业的本科女生提供更多的教育机会。(c)增加保留STEM专业学位的成就。(d)改善对追求STEM职业的女性的学生支持计划。该计划旨在鼓励高学术成就，促进研究和实习机会，鼓励外展和社区服务，并为接受者在STEM相关领域的职业和/或继续学习做好准备。该计划还鼓励受助人与同龄人建立网络，提供和接受同伴指导支持，并参与高质量的小组学习活动。最终目标是培养全面和高技能的STEM毕业生，他们准备满足国家对更多美国科学家，工程师和数学家的需求。智力优势：该方案有利于妇女谁是追求生物学，化学，计算数学，数学，统计学和精算数学专业，和/或完成与圣母大学工程双学位课程的要求。该学院正在使用S-STEM赠款基金为进入大二的学生提供两个队列中的每个队列的十个奖学金。奖学金获得者继续通过他们的本科生涯的剩余时间从该计划获得支持，只要他们保持学术和社会良好的地位，并取得可接受的进展，完成他们的学位。对于20名获奖者，奖学金提供财政支持，以及获得宝贵研究经验的机会，并与导师和其他专业人士在各自领域进行互动。更广泛的影响：该计划强调整合教学和研究，促进多样性，并鼓励有利于社会的科学理解的优先事项。它帮助培养学生做好准备，在传统上女性代表性不足的领域取得成功，帮助培养能够满足国家对更多美国科学家和工程师需求的个人。
