Enhancing Student Graduation Success in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics at North Carolina State University

该计划将在两年内向表现出经济需求的优秀本科生和研究生提供90个工程、数学和计算机科学方面的奖学金。奖学金应该允许大学对我们学生完成学位的总体成功产生显着影响。这些基于需要的奖学金可以与工程学院更有利可图的优秀奖相媲美。在本科生层面，我们将针对高年级的初级和高级学者，以及那些转到我们这一级别的工程和数学课程的人。在研究生层面，基于需要的奖励将补充向优秀学生提供的助学金。我们招生计划的这一重大改进将使我们在吸引最优秀和最聪明的美国公民进入我们的研究生课程方面变得更具竞争力。我们这个项目的主要目标是减少优秀的工程、计算机科学和数学学者完成学位的时间。我们将让奖学金获得者参与项目活动，帮助他们提高人际交往能力，充当其他学生的导师，并减少或消除学年期间校外工作的需要。

The program will provide 90 scholarships in engineering, mathematics, and computer science over a two-year period to high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated financial need. The scholarships should allow the university to make notable impact on the overall success of our student to complete the degree. These need-based scholarships are comparable to the engineering college's more lucrative merit-based awards.At the undergraduate level, we will target upper division junior and senior scholars, and those who transfer into our engineering and mathematics programs at this level. At the graduate level, the need-based awards will supplement assistantship offers made to outstanding students. This significant enhancement to our recruitment package will allow us to become more competitive in attracting the best and brightest U.S. citizens into our graduate program.Our major objective in this project is to reduce the time to degree completion of high-achieving engineering, computer science, and mathematics scholars. We will involve scholarship recipients in program activities that will help them to improve interpersonal skills, serve as mentors to other students, and reduce or remove the need to work off-campus during the academic year.
