Computer Science and Mathematics Scholarship Program

该项目是继续CSEMS奖学金计划（奖# 0094876）在学院的低收入，学术才华的学生就读全日制由计算机科学系和数学与统计系提供的学位课程之一。每年有30个奖项，每个奖项的金额为3，125美元。如果在获奖的第一年成功，学生可以申请第二年的资金。奖学金获得者的资格标准是NSF CSEMS计划征求中列出的标准。选拔过程包括学术成绩和可能的职业成功指标。由PI，两个Co-PI，艺术和科学学院的代理院长和学生事务代理副总裁组成的行政委员会负责征求合格学生的奖学金申请，选择30名获奖者，在获奖期间监督获奖者，并对获奖者进行持续调查。在这些不同的活动中，委员会得到学院学生支持结构的协助。这包括Dolciani数学学习中心，教学计算服务，学生服务办公室和职业咨询和安置办公室。在这种援助下，委员会特别关注妇女和少数民族参与和保留奖学金方案的问题。在PI的管理和监督下，为获奖者设立了可选的奖学金活动。有几个活动可供学生：由计算机科学系或数学与统计系的全职教师指导的研究项目;在公司，政府机构或非营利组织实习;或者，实习协助亨特教师在经济学，地理学，政治学和心理学等部门进行数据分析项目。该奖学金计划预计将继续吸引学术健全的学生到亨特学院的计算机科学和数学专业。奖学金正在促进全日制入学，并有助于学生保留。因此，奖学金有助于增加计算机科学和数学专业的妇女和少数民族人数。拟议活动的智力价值源于期望，在亨特在目前的CSEMS计划的经验后，大多数收件人将选择参加奖学金活动。如果活动是研究与全职教师，学生获得宝贵的经验，观察研究人员的操作方法，以及在课堂之外学习学科的其他概念。PI曾在亨特管理过一个成功的CSEMS项目，因此有管理这个奖学金项目的经验。至于拟议活动的更广泛影响，获奖者将在大多数情况下，从事奖学金活动。每月研讨会和项目摘要是奖学金活动的一部分。因此，学生将有机会谈论和撰写他们的学科，这是他们进一步专业工作的宝贵工具。他们将有与同行在他们的学科互动的经验。如提案所示，CSEMS的接受者成功地在知名的同行评审期刊上发表了他们的项目成果，从而有助于传播科学知识。

This project is to continue the CSEMS Scholarship Program (Award # 0094876) at the College for low-income, academically talented students enrolled full-time in one of the degree programs offered by the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. There are thirty awards per year in the amount of $3,125 each. If successful during the first year of the award, students may apply for a second year of funding. The eligibility criteria for scholarship recipients are the criteria listed in the NSF CSEMS Program Solicitation. The selection process includes indicators of academic merit and likely professional success. An Administrative Committee consisting of the PI, the two Co-PIs, the Acting Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, and the Acting Vice President for Student Affairs is responsible for soliciting applications for the scholarship from qualified students, selecting the thirty recipients, monitoring the recipients during the award period, and conducting an ongoing survey of recipients. In these various activities, the committee is assisted by the student support structure at the College. This includes the Dolciani Mathematics Learning Center, Instructional Computing Services, the Office of Student Services, and the Office of Career Counseling and Placement. With this assistance the committee gives particular attention to the involvement and retention of women and minorities in the scholarship program. Under the administration and supervision of the PI, an optional scholarship activity is established for the award recipients. There are several activities available for the students: a research project mentored by a full-time faculty member in the Department of Computer Science or the Department of Mathematics and Statistics; an internship in a corporation, government agency or non-profit organization; or, an internship assisting Hunter faculty members with data analysis projects in departments such as Economics, Geography, Political Science, and Psychology. This scholarship program is expected to continue attracting academically sound students to the Computer Science and Mathematics majors at Hunter College. The scholarships are promoting full-time enrollment and is contributing to student retention. Therefore, scholarships are contributing to an increase in the number of women and minorities in Computer Science and Mathematics. The intellectual merit of the proposed activity stems from the expectation, after the experience at Hunter in the current CSEMS program, that most of the recipients will opt to participate in a scholarship activity. If the activity is research with a full-time faculty member, the student acquires valuable experience in observing a researcher's methods of operation, as well as in learning additional concepts of the discipline beyond the classroom. The PI has administered a previous successful CSEMS program at Hunter, and therefore has the experience to manage this scholarship program. As for the broader impacts of the proposed activity, award recipients will, for the most part, engage in a scholarship activity. Monthly seminars and project abstracts are part of the scholarship activity. Students will therefore have the opportunity to talk and write about their disciplines, which are invaluable tools for their further professional work. They will have the experience of interacting with peers in their disciplines. As indicated in the proposal, CSEMS recipients succeed in publishing the results of their projects in well-established peer-reviewed journals, thus helping to disseminate scientific knowledge.
