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.

邮票项目：科学、技术和数学准备奖学金服务于国家利益，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。该项目为STEM学科的优秀学生提供财务、学术、指导和咨询支持，以提高他们的保留率，更好地为学生的科学和技术职业或专业（如医学、牙科、药学、研究生）学校的深造做好准备。通过这样做，该项目增加了从事高技能工作或科学技术职业的人才储备库。该项目还在制定如何支持和培训学生成为熟练劳动力的最佳实践，并与其他大学共享。STAMPS招收不同的一年级STEM学生参加为期一年的综合科学课程，旨在建立一个由教师和同伴导师和服务支持的队列。STAMPS的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院进行实习。目标是：1)将stamp的学者录取，然后毕业，进入STEM职业或研究生院；2)识别和支持多样化的STEM学习者社区；3)为邮票学者创造一个支持和自我维持的环境；4)发现有效的方法和原因，并与广大受众分享这些知识。
