The San Jose State University (SJSU) Science Research and Teaching Scholars program is providing an average of fifteen $8,700/year scholarships over this four-year project to students majoring in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geology, Meterology or Physics/Astronomy. The primary objective being achieved is the preparation of strong scientists capable of becoming high school teachers, scientists in the workforce, or students pursuing graduate degrees in STEM, each after completing their baccalaureate degree. The well-designed program is improving the STEM workforce by enabling strong academic performance of Scholars and by providing experiences that allow each Scholar to identify the best career path appropriate to them. Vigorous campus recruiting efforts are leading to a robust applicant pool from which Scholars are selected based on their GPA, documented financial need, their commitment to a career as a scientist, and letters of recommendation. Scholars are supported with Academic Excellence Workshops, Summer Preparation Courses, a Graduate School Preparation Seminar, Research Techniques Workshops, on-campus research opportunities, teaching apprenticeships, and faculty mentoring. Close involvement with local industry includes seminars and workplace tours. SJSU has a diverse undergraduate student population and serves Silicon Valley. As undergraduate researchers the Scholars are enhancing research productivity at SJSU while enjoying their first scientific work experience. Scholars are also gaining teaching experience by service as facilitators for Academic Excellence Workshops, Summer Preparation courses, teaching lab courses, or through service learning programs like Tutor-to-Teach. Successful Scholars are serving as role models for future STEM majors.

该圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）科学研究和教学学者计划提供了一个平均15 $8,700/年奖学金在这个为期四年的项目，以学生主修生物科学，化学，地质学，气象学或物理/天文学。 正在实现的主要目标是培养能够成为高中教师，劳动力中的科学家或攻读STEM研究生学位的学生的强大科学家，每个人在完成学士学位后。 这个精心设计的计划通过使学者的学术表现出色，并通过提供经验，使每个学者能够确定适合他们的最佳职业道路，来改善STEM劳动力。 积极的校园招聘工作正在导致一个强大的申请人池，学者根据他们的GPA，有记录的财务需求，他们对科学家职业生涯的承诺和推荐信进行选择。 学者支持学术卓越研讨会，夏季准备课程，研究生院准备研讨会，研究技术研讨会，校内研究机会，教学学徒和教师指导。 与当地工业的密切联系包括研讨会和工作场所图尔斯参观。 SJSU拥有多元化的本科学生群体，并为硅谷提供服务。 作为本科研究人员，学者们在享受他们的第一次科学工作经验的同时，提高了SJSU的研究生产力。 学者们还通过服务获得教学经验，作为学术卓越研讨会，暑期准备课程，教学实验室课程的促进者，或通过服务学习计划，如导师教。 成功的学者是未来STEM专业的榜样。
