This project will provide 30 scholarships annually to financially needy, academically talented students through the Cyber Generation Tech Stars scholarship program. It will assist promising students who choose to major in one of the three related associate degree STEM programs within Florence-Darlington Technical College's division of Technical and General Education: Computer Technology/Network Systems Management, Industrial Technology, or Engineering Technology. Students will be expected to earn an Associate Degree and then to enter the workforce or transfer to continue their education at a baccalaureate degree-granting institution. The project builds upon work from a prior S-STEM grant, which established a comprehensive student support structure that has proven successful in increasing retention and success among underrepresented groups in STEM fields. Student support strategies include innovative loan-to-own technology support, social media and events that support cohesive cohorts, and mobile technology messages from the industry to advance students' knowledge and understanding of STEM careers and the modern workplace.Results from the project could be informative for the larger academic community on student success and have a potentially transformative effect on the nation's open-door two-year technical and community colleges. Targeted outreach activities and role model Career Ambassadors will encourage females and minorities to consider careers in STEM disciplines. The SC ATE Center of Excellence, a NSF/ATE National Resource Center, will facilitate the dissemination of project results.

该项目将通过网络一代技术之星奖学金计划，每年向经济上有困难、学术上有才华的学生提供30个奖学金。它将帮助有前途的学生谁选择在佛罗伦萨-达林顿技术学院的技术和通识教育部内的三个相关的副学士学位STEM课程之一主修：计算机技术/网络系统管理，工业技术，或工程技术。学生将获得副学士学位，然后进入劳动力市场或转移到学士学位授予机构继续接受教育。该项目建立在以前的S-STEM赠款的基础上，该赠款建立了一个全面的学生支持结构，该结构已被证明成功地提高了STEM领域代表性不足的群体的保留率和成功率。学生支持策略包括创新的贷款到拥有的技术支持，社交媒体和支持有凝聚力的群体的事件，和移动的技术信息，以促进学生的知识和理解STEM职业和现代工作场所。该项目的结果可以为更大的学术界提供有关学生成功的信息，并对国家的开放式两个-年技术和社区学院。有针对性的外联活动和榜样职业大使将鼓励女性和少数民族考虑STEM学科的职业。SC ATE卓越中心是NSF/ATE国家资源中心，将促进项目成果的传播。
