S-STEM Scholarship Program: Building Upon a Legacy of Success

奖学金颁发给在学业上有天赋、经济上有困难的生物、化学、地质科学或物理专业的高年级学生。该项目是建立在现有成功的CSEMS项目的基础上的，该项目面向计算机科学专业的学生。以下目标正在实现：1.通过奖学金和咨询减少毕业生的经济债务；2.通过增加学生从事教职员工资助的研究或通过批准的与行业合作伙伴的合作或暑期实习的机会，减少从事非智力工作的学生数量；3.改善与行业合作伙伴的就业安置；4.提高学生的毕业率，特别是少数族裔和女性学生的毕业率；5.减少学生完成学位的平均时间；以及6.增加研究生入学的毕业生人数。

Scholarships are being awarded to academically talented, financially needy upperclass students majoring in biology, chemistry, the geological sciences, or physics. The project is building on an existing successful CSEMS project for students majoring computer science. The following objectives are being met 1. decreasing the financial debt of graduates via scholarships and counseling; 2. decreasing the number of students working in non-intellectually engaging jobs by increasing opportunities for students to work on a faculty member's funded research or through approved co-op or summer internships with industry partners; 3. improving employment placement with industry partners; 4. increasing the graduation rate of students, particularly minority and female students; 5. decreasing the average time to degree completion for students; and, 6. increasing the number of graduates who enroll in graduate school.
