EVS Scholars: Promoting Excellence and Success in Environmental Science

德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的EVS学者计划招募学术才华但经济拮据的新生进入其创新和跨学科的学位课程，获得环境科学学士学位。 该计划位于大学的三个不同学院，要求严格，并为毕业生在环境领域的新兴劳动力中接受进一步教育或就业做好准备。 学者们被分组在小的队列，并提供个性化的学术支持，多方面的指导，和专业的准备。 我们的目标是吸引和留住学者，使他们能够培养跨学科批判性思维，研究和领域技能的习惯，以及为解决环境问题做出贡献的动力。 在当前学者的帮助下，申请人被积极招募，那些被选为学者的人被精心培养。 由于德克萨斯大学的学生人口中有17%是西班牙裔，EVS学者将为目前缺乏多样性的STEM领域做出贡献。

The EVS Scholars program at the University of Texas at Austin recruits academically talented but financially needy entering freshmen to its innovative and interdisciplinary degree program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Housed in three different colleges at the university, the program is demanding and rigorous, and prepares its graduates for further education or employment in the burgeoning workforce in environmental areas. Scholars are grouped in small cohorts and offered individualized academic support, multifaceted mentoring, and professional preparation. The goal is to attract and retain Scholars, allowing them to develop habits of interdisciplinary critical thinking, research and field skills, and motivation to contribute to solving environmental problems. With the help of current Scholars, applicants are aggressively recruited and those chosen as scholars are carefully nurtured. Since the student population at the University of Texas is 17% Hispanic, EVS Scholars will contribute diversity to a STEM area that currently lacks it.
