This project is focused on three main objectives: (1) to recruit high school students to pursue one of the following S-STEM fields at University of Texas Pan American - a B.S. in Chemistry, a B.S. in Physics, or a B.S. in Physical Science; (2) to promote STEM careers among high school students; and (3) to provide quality training, development, education, and student support services to S-STEM scholars to enable them to persist in their STEM field and finish their degree in a timely manner. Particularly noteworthy is that the project will provide an S-STEM Mentor Training Program that will be aligned with the mentor certification program of the College Reading and Learning Association. This program takes place in South Texas which has a high underrepresented Hispanic population.

该项目的重点是三个主要目标：（1）招募高中生在德克萨斯大学泛美分校攻读以下S-STEM领域之一-学士学位。化学学士学位物理学或理学士学位物理科学;（2）促进高中生的STEM事业;（3）为S-STEM学者提供优质的培训，发展，教育和学生支持服务，使他们能够坚持在STEM领域并及时完成学位。特别值得注意的是，该项目将提供一个S-STEM导师培训计划，将与学院阅读和学习协会的导师认证计划保持一致。该计划发生在德克萨斯州南部，那里有大量代表性不足的西班牙裔人口。
