Increasing the Number of Women in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics: A Scholarship Program at an Undergraduate Women's College

该项目支持60个奖学金，为学术合格的，基于需求的学生进入并毕业于Sweet Briar学院（SBC）的数学，计算机科学或工程专业。SBC的cems计划针对弗吉尼亚州社会经济贫困地区的需求群体，利用SBC标准的7,500美元弗吉尼亚补助金。智力优势：SBC是一个理想的学习环境，促进被剥夺权利的妇女在CSEM领域的成功。它为女性提供了一个独特的学习机会，小班授课（平均12名学生），师生比例低（8:1），包括工程在内的多种CSEM选择，以及数学和科学项目的成功记录。更广泛的影响：该奖学金计划通过吸引合格的基于需求的女性进入一个令人鼓舞和参与的学习环境，增加了CSEM领域的女性人数。这些奖学金为弗吉尼亚州社会经济条件较弱的学生在NSF资助期后继续进入SBC提供了一个渠道。

This project supports 60 scholarships for academically qualified, need-based students to attend and graduate from Sweet Briar College (SBC) in a math, computer science, or engineering major. SBC's CSEMS program targets need-based groups in socio-economically underprivileged areas of Virginia to leverage SBC's standard $7,500 Virginia Grant. Intellectual Merits: SBC is an ideal learning environment to facilitate the success of disenfranchised women in CSEM fields. It offers women a unique learning opportunity through small class sizes (averaging 12 students), low student to faculty ratio (8:1), multiple CSEM options including engineering, and a record of success in math and science programs. Broader Impacts: This scholarship program increases the number of women in CSEM fields by attracting qualified need-based women into an encouraging and engaging learning environment. These scholarships open a pipeline for continued recruitment of socio-economically underprivileged students in Virginia to SBC beyond the NSF grant period.
