Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics Scholarships Program

该机构的学生事务、数学和技术部门以及学生资助部门联合起来，为低收入、有学业天赋的学生提供更多的教育机会。学院教职员工和校友关系办公室将与当地高中辅导员合作，确定参加计算机科学、计算机技术、工程、工程技术或数学课程(CSEMS)的新生和全日制学生。候选人将从新生、目前在册的学生和证书项目的毕业生中挑选。外展、招聘和选拔活动将被安排时间，以便学生在学期开始之前收到他们的经济奖励的通知。学生资助办公室与招生管理办公室合作，开发潜在奖学金获得者的候选库。一个由数学与技术学院院长、学生学院院长和三名来自CSEMS学科的教授组成的小组将组成遴选委员会，并将对推荐名单中的候选人进行面试。最终的选择将基于30名候选人的共识，这些候选人可以从NSF奖学金中获得最大利益。遴选委员会将考虑在CSEMS领域的职业承诺、学术能力、影响教育进步的障碍，以及在法律允许的范围内提高CSEMS领域多样性的潜力。院校合作将有助于提高学生的满意度和培养学术卓越和留住学生。学生发展学院将与学生密切合作，帮助学生进行教育和职业规划，以及其他影响个人和学术目标的问题。除了充分利用学院的项目、服务和人员外，学生还将受益于参加“学生成功俱乐部”、作为CSEMS其他学生的导师在校园工作的经历、转学援助以及学院与当地工商界的密切联系。CSEMS教师将通过实习机会帮助学生学习在工作场所应用课堂知识。这项名为NSF计算机科学、工程、数学及相关技术奖学金计划的项目将加强机构努力，使所有人都能接受高等教育。由于全国近一半的大学生都在社区大学就读，而且许多人都是兼职，这样他们就可以通过这个项目获得的经济援助对学生的留校率、毕业率和转校率产生重大影响。

This institution's Divisions of Student Affairs, Mathematics and Technologies, and Student Financial Assistance have joined together to enhance educational opportunities for low-income, academically talented students. College faculty and Alumni Relations Office will work with local high school counselors to identify potential candidates who are incoming students and full-time students attending computer science, computer technology, engineering, engineering technology or mathematics courses (CSEMS). Candidates will be drawn from among the incoming freshman, currently enrolled students, and graduates from certificate programs. Outreach, recruitment, and selection activities will be timed so that students receive announcements of their financial award prior to the start of the semester. The Office of Student Financial Assistance with work with the Office of Enrollment Management to develop a candidate pool of potential scholarship recipients. A team composed of the Dean of Mathematics and Technologies (PI), the Dean of Students (co-PI) and three faculty chairs from CSEMS disciplines will form the Selection Committee and will interview the candidates from the recommended list. Final selection will be based on a consensus of the 30 candidates who can receive maximum benefit from an NSF scholarship award. The Selection Committee will consider such factors as commitment to a career in the CSEMS field, academic ability, barriers affecting educational progress, and the potential to enhance diversity (to the extent permitted by law) within the CSEMS field.Institutional cooperation will help to promote student satisfaction and foster academic excellence and retention. Student development faculty will work closely with students to help with educational and career planning, and other issues affecting personal and academic goals. In addition to making full use of the College's programs, services and personnel, students will benefit from participation in a "Student Success Club," on-campus work experience as tutors of other CSEMS students, transfer assistance, and the close ties the College has with local business and industry. CSEMS faculty will help students learn to apply classroom knowledge in the workplace setting through internship opportunities..This project, entitled NSF Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Related Technologies Scholarship Program, will enhance institutional efforts to make higher education accessible to all. Because nearly half of the nation's college students are enrolled in community colleges, and many attend part-time so that they can work to pay for their education, the financial assistance available through this project can have a significant effect on student retention, graduation and transfer rates.
