Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

通过美国国家科学基金会计算机科学、工程和数学奖学金项目，Mercy学院每年为15名有才华、经济条件较差的计算机科学专业学生提供攻读全日制学位的机会。梅西学院是一所西班牙裔服务机构，学生主要由第一代大学生组成，他们是一家之主，通常经济上处于不利地位，在追求高等教育的同时兼顾职业。通过这个项目，梅西学院为有才华、经济条件差的学生提供奖学金支持，使他们减少对工作的依赖，以完成计算机科学学位课程。该项目还实现了第二个目标，即增加在计算机科学领域中代表性不足的学生完成该领域学位课程并在该领域进行研究生教育的人数。

Through the NSF Computer Science, Engineering and Math Scholarship program Mercy College is providing, each year, 15 talented, economically disadvantaged Computer Science majors, with the opportunity to pursue full time study towards their degree program. Mercy College is a Hispanic Serving Institution with a student body consisting of mainly first-generation college students, who are heads-of-households, often economically disadvantaged and juggling occupations with the pursuit of higher education. Through this program Mercy College is providing talented, economically disadvantaged students with scholarship support enabling them to lessen dependence on work to complete degree programs in computer science. The project is also achieving a secondary goal of increasing the number of students, underrepresented in computer science, that complete degree programs in this area and pursue graduate education in this field.
