The Brockport Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science (BPMACS) Scholars Program - Completing Their Degrees provides 28 to 32 scholarships of up to $5400 each year to juniors, seniors and Master's degree students in the fields of physics, mathematics and computer science. An important emphasis of the program is to ensure that BPMACS scholars complete their degrees in a timely fashion. Scholars in the current BPMACS program have achieved 98% college-wide retention and on-time graduation rates, and it is the goal of the new program to match this success rate.A cadre of STEM professionals from the three participating departments of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics administers the program, supported with the full backing of an involved administration. The seven academic members of the Program Board are committed to recruit a diverse applicant pool for the program. The intellectual merit of the program is strengthened by strong academic programs of the three STEM departments involved and by the requirement that student awardees are maintain a 3.0 GPA out of 4.0 in their major and overall each semester. The team administering the program consists of two mathematicians, three computer scientists, and two physicists and includes the chairs of all three participating departments. The program achieves broader impacts through the large number (85 - 90) of STEM scholars it anticipates to graduate, its collaborative relationship with the Empire State STEM Hub, its focus on minority and female recruitment and awardees, its financial support for student research presentations at regional and national professional meetings and its interface to college/industry forums through its series of invited STEM lectures.

布罗克波特物理，数学和计算机科学（BPMACS）学者计划-完成他们的学位每年为物理，数学和计算机科学领域的大三，大四和硕士学位学生提供28至32个奖学金，最高金额为5400美元。该计划的一个重要重点是确保BPMACS学者及时完成他们的学位。目前BPMACS项目的学生在大学范围内的保留率和准时毕业率达到了98%，新项目的目标是达到这一成功率。来自数学系、计算机科学系和物理系的STEM专业骨干管理该项目，并得到相关行政部门的全力支持。项目委员会的七名学术成员致力于为该项目招募多样化的申请人。该计划的智力价值得到了三个STEM部门的强大学术课程的加强，并且要求学生每学期在专业和总体上保持3.0的GPA（满分为4.0）。管理该项目的团队由两名数学家、三名计算机科学家和两名物理学家组成，其中包括所有三个参与部门的负责人。该计划通过其预计将毕业的大量（85 - 90）STEM学者，与帝国州立STEM中心的合作关系，对少数族裔和女性招聘和获奖者的关注，对学生在地区和国家专业会议上的研究报告的财政支持，以及通过其一系列邀请STEM讲座与大学/行业论坛的联系，实现了更广泛的影响。
