Science, Technology, and Math Preparation Scholarships (STAMPS)

STAMPS：科学、技术和数学准备奖学金项目通过支持有学术天赋和经济困难的学生，包括少数民族、女性和第一代大学生，努力完成STEM学科(自然、物理、地球和计算机科学)的大学学位，从而服务于国家利益。该项目为STEM学科的有才华的学生提供财政、学术、指导和咨询支持，以提高他们的保留率，并为学生在以科学和技术为基础的职业生涯或在专业(如医学、牙科、药学、研究生)学校进修做好更好的准备。通过这样做，该项目正在增加高技能工作或科学技术职业的人才池。该项目还在开发关于如何支持和培训学生以获得与其他大学共享的熟练劳动力的最佳做法。STAMS招收了一批不同的STEM一年级学生参加为期一年的综合科学课程，该课程旨在建立一个队列，得到教职员工和同行导师和服务的支持。STAMPS学生有机会进行研究，与STEM演讲者互动，旅行，并在纳米科学和纳米工程联合学校促进跟踪。其目标是：1)使STEM学者入学，然后进入STEM职业或研究生院；2)确定和支持STEM学习者的多样化社区；3)为STEM学者创造一个支持性和自给自足的环境；以及4)发现什么是有效的以及为什么，并将这些知识分享给广大受众。

The project STAMPS: Science, Technology and Math Preparation Scholarships is serving the national interest by supporting academically talented and financially needy students, including minority, women and first-generation college students, in their efforts to complete their college degrees in the STEM disciplines (Natural, Physical, Earth and Computer Sciences). The project is providing financial, academic, mentoring and advising support to talented students in the STEM disciplines to increase their retention rates and better prepare students for science and technology-based careers or for advance study in professional (e.g., medical, dental, pharmacy, graduate) schools. By doing so, the project is increasing the pool of talented individuals for highly skilled jobs or careers in science and technology. The project is also developing best practices on how to support and train students for a skilled workforce that is shared with other universities. STAMPS enrolls a diverse group of first year STEM students into a yearlong integrated science course, designed to create a cohort, supported by faculty and peer mentors and services. STAMPS students have opportunities for research, interacting with STEM speakers, travel, and facilitated shadowing at the Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. The goals are to 1) matriculate and then graduate STAMPS scholars into STEM careers or graduate school; 2) identify and support a diverse community of STEM learners; 3) create a supportive and self-sustaining environment for STAMPS scholars; and 4) discover what works and why and share this knowledge to a broad audience.
