The Pathways to Graduate School and Careers in the Mathematical Sciences project will increase the number of trained scholars ready to enter the STEM workforce. Scholarship support will be offered to students in South Texas Rio Grande Valley pursuing professional careers in fields requiring a significant background in Mathematics. The effort's broader impacts lie in the creation of infrastructure for a necessary and permanent South Texas bridge to graduate school and professional careers in the mathematical sciences.The Pathways project will mentor University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) undergraduates through the vital period from their freshman year to the completion of a Masters degree. Financial and academic support will be provided to 22 students within UTRGV's 5-year BS/MS degree in mathematics. The objective of the project is to prepare students for careers in mathematics, statistics, and related fields through a close support network, early involvement in research, and an emphasis on graduate degree attainment. The recruitment, retention, mentoring, development, and academic support installed through this coordinated approach will provide a solid foundation for future STEM scholars in the Rio Grande Valley. Program assessment and data collected will provide evidence to inform strategies for increasing the success of mathematics mentoring programs at other Minority Serving Institutions.

数学科学项目的研究生院和职业途径将增加准备进入STEM劳动力的训练有素的学者的数量。 奖学金支持将提供给学生在南德克萨斯州格兰德河谷追求专业的职业生涯领域需要在数学的重要背景。这项工作的更广泛的影响在于建立一个必要的和永久的南德克萨斯州桥梁的基础设施，以研究生院和专业的职业生涯在数学科学。途径项目将指导德克萨斯大学格兰德河谷（UTRGV）的本科生通过从大一到硕士学位完成的重要时期。财政和学术支持将提供给22名学生在UTRGV的5年制数学学士/硕士学位。该项目的目标是通过密切的支持网络，早期参与研究，并强调研究生学位的获得，为学生在数学，统计和相关领域的职业生涯做好准备。通过这种协调的方法安装的招聘，保留，指导，发展和学术支持将为格兰德河谷未来的STEM学者提供坚实的基础。计划评估和收集的数据将提供证据，为提高其他少数民族服务机构的数学辅导计划的成功策略提供信息。
