The project, Growing Opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (GO STEM), will contribute to meeting the national need for well-educated scientists, engineers, and technicians in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Indian Hills Community College will award scholarships to at least 48 unique low-income students with demonstrated academic potential and who are pursuing associate degrees in science and applied science fields of study. Full time students in ten programs will be eligible to apply for these scholarships. The ten programs include: four Associate of Art degree programs for science transfer majors (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics) and six Associate of Applied Science programs in career and technical programs (Computer Software Development, Cybersecurity and Systems Administration, Electrical and Renewable Energy Technology, Electronic Engineering Technology, Laser and Optics Technology and Robotics/Automation Technology). A system of curricular and co-curricular activities will provide additional support for the scholars. These activities focus on existing, enhanced, and new activities that show promise in fostering student success, as documented in the research literature, supported by prior experience and lessons learned, and underscored by institutional commitment. Activities include intensive faculty mentoring/advising, professional development for faculty, peer mentoring, training for peer mentors, a first-year seminar series for scholarship recipients, college and career guidance, and summer experiences. The overarching goal of the proposed effort is to increase the successful attainment of education and career goals of low-income community college students with academic potential and interest in STEM. The project will advance knowledge by evaluating the influence of academic advising/mentoring provided by faculty mentors, participation in a first year seminar, and peer mentoring (as mentees and mentors) on college and career outcomes for academically talented, low-income students pursuing associate degrees in STEM. The project is funded by NSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program, which seeks to increase the number of low-income academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who earn degrees in STEM fields. It also aims to improve the education of future STEM workers, and to generate knowledge about academic success, retention, transfer, graduation and academic/career pathways of low-income students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目，在科学，技术，工程和数学（GO STEM）增长的机会，将有助于满足国家需要受过良好教育的科学家，工程师和技术人员在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）。 印第安山社区学院将向至少48名具有学术潜力并正在攻读科学和应用科学研究领域副学士学位的独特的低收入学生颁发奖学金。 十个项目的全日制学生将有资格申请这些奖学金。 这十个项目包括：四个艺术学位课程的科学转移专业（生物学，化学，物理学，数学）和六个应用科学课程的职业和技术课程（计算机软件开发，网络安全和系统管理，电气和可再生能源技术，电子工程技术，激光和光学技术和机器人/自动化技术）的副学士。 课程和课外活动系统将为学者提供额外的支持。 这些活动的重点是现有的，增强的，和新的活动，显示在促进学生的成功，记录在研究文献中，以前的经验和教训的支持，并强调机构的承诺。 活动包括密集的教师指导/咨询，教师的专业发展，同行指导，培训同行导师，奖学金获得者，大学和职业指导，以及夏季经验的第一年研讨会系列。 拟议努力的总体目标是提高低收入社区大学生的教育和职业目标的成功实现与学术潜力和兴趣在干。 该项目将通过评估教师导师提供的学术咨询/指导的影响来推进知识，参加第一年的研讨会，以及同行指导（作为学员和导师）对学术才华的大学和职业成果的影响，低收入学生追求STEM副学士学位。 该项目由NSF的科学，技术，工程和数学奖学金计划资助，该计划旨在增加低收入学术天才学生的数量，这些学生表现出经济需求，并获得STEM领域的学位。 它还旨在改善未来STEM工作者的教育，并产生关于低收入学生的学术成功，保留，转移，毕业和学术/职业道路的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
