Improving Student Success in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics

该项目的目标是向来自少数族裔的经济条件较差但在学术上有天赋的学生提供总共54个为期一年的奖学金，以提高计算机科学、工程和数学专业的入学率、保有率和毕业率。即将入学的高中学生将获得cems学科之一的副学士学位，目前的学生将从副学士学位课程转到学士学位课程。招生工作通过在校园和区域支线高中开展外展活动，并通过电子和纸质形式传播详细的课程和申请信息。该项目连接并利用现有资源，为所有奖学金获得者提供学术支持、辅导、优先注册、咨询、教育规划、学术卓越研讨会、职业发展资源、基于工作的学习机会/实习、优先转学支持、额外的财政援助以及最先进的计算机和技术设备和实验室。该项目还建立在当前MESA（数学、工程和科学成就奖）项目的优势上，以及与四年制项目的衔接协议。

The objective of the project is to provide a total of 54 one-year scholarships to economically disadvantaged but academically talented students from underrepresented minority groups to improve the enrollment, retention, and graduation in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Incoming high school students to receive an associate degree in one of the CSEMS disciplines, and current students to transfer from an associate degree program to a baccalaureate degree program are targeted. The recruitment takes place through outreach activities on campus and at regional feeder high schools, and through the electronic and hard copy dissemination of detailed program and application information. The project links and leverages existing resources providing all scholarship recipients access to academic support, tutoring, priority registration, counseling, educational planning, academic excellence workshops, career development resources, work-based learning opportunities/internships, priority transfer support, additional financial aid, and state-of-the-art computer and technological equipment and laboratories. The project also builds on the strengths of the current MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement Award) program, and the articulation agreements with four-year programs.
