Scholarships for Computer Science and Mathematics Undergraduates

爱达荷大学（UI）计算机科学与数学（CSM）奖学金项目正在增加训练有素的计算机科学和数学学生的数量和多样性，他们在项目的生命周期内毕业并获得学士学位。每年，该项目向30名表现出学术成绩和经济需求的计算机科学和数学学生颁发3000美元（1500美元/学期）的CSM奖学金，并特别努力包括来自代表性不足群体的学生。与非奖学金获得者相比，奖学金是一种经济激励，有助于提高留校率和毕业率。通过协调获得学生支持服务，提高了学业成绩；指导CSM学者利用校园资源、研究机会和实习机会；以及以结果为导向的学生进步监控。获奖者可以保留他们的CSM奖学金长达三年，只要他们保持资格。pi正在与多元文化事务办公室、UI教育部校园TRIO项目、大学援助移民项目和多元文化外展协调员合作，从代表性不足的群体中识别和招募学生加入该项目。伊利诺伊大学经济援助办公室正在核实学生的资格。CSM学者在他们的院系有导师提供学术建议，并确保他们在学位课程中取得进展。就业和/或实习安排是通过部门行业联系和就业服务办公室。这些部门还维护学生的数据，以跟踪学生的进步，满足nsf领导的数据收集要求，并对项目的有效性进行比较评估。

The University of Idaho (UI) Computer Science and Math (CSM) Scholarship project is increasing the number and diversity of well-trained computer science and mathematics students who graduate with bachelor's degrees over the life of the project. Each year, the project awards CSM scholarships of $3,000 ($1500/semester) to 30 Computer Science and Mathematics students who demonstrate academic merit and financial need, with specific efforts to include students from underrepresented groups. The scholarships are a financial incentive that contributes to increased retention and graduation rates compared to non-scholarship recipients. Academic outcomes are improved by coordinating access to student support services; mentoring to guide CSM Scholars in utilizing campus resources, research opportunities, and internships; and outcome-oriented monitoring of student progress. Recipients may retain their CSM Scholarships up to three years, as long as they maintain eligibility. The PIs are working with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, UI Department of Education TRIO programs on campus, the College Assistance Migrant Program, and the Multicultural Outreach Coordinator to identify and recruit students from underrepresented groups into the program. The UI Office of Financial Aid is verifying eligibility of students. CSM Scholars have mentors in their departments to provide academic advising and to ensure that they are progressing in their degree programs. Job and/or intern placement is facilitated through departmental industry contacts and the UI Career Services Office. The departments also maintain student data to track the students' progress, to meet NSF-led data collection requirements, and to do a comparative assessment of the program's effectiveness.
