Scholarships for Quantitative and Interdisciplinary Science Majors

智力优势：通过物理和生物科学部与学生事务部的合作，加州大学圣地亚哥分校为低收入的定量或跨学科科学专业的本科生提供奖学金。30名符合条件的学生将在四年中每年获得3,000美元，直至2006年秋季毕业；从2008年秋季开始，12至15名高年级学生每年将获得3,000美元的奖学金，为期两年。完成暑期研究项目或实习的高年级学生可以获得1,850美元的额外奖学金。每位学者都将有机会通过指导和协作学习经验，参与教师、行业合作伙伴和同行的丰富活动。更广泛的影响：招生是通过pi给潜在合格学生的个性化信件开始的。为了鼓励女性、未被充分代表的学生和残疾学生申请，学校在女性和跨文化中心等专门的校园地点张贴了通知。主要目标是支持及时完成学位；增加研究和实习机会；增加低收入、未被充分代表的第一代大学生、女性和残疾人进入定量和跨学科科学研究生项目的人数。

Intellectual Merit: Through collaboration between its Divisions of Physical and Biological Sciences and Division of Student Affairs, UCSD is providing scholarships for low-income undergraduates majoring in quantitative or interdisciplinary science. Thirty qualifying students will receive $3,000 annually over four years or until graduation beginning in fall, 2006; 12-15 upper-division students will receive $3,000 annually for two years effective fall, 2008. Upper-division students who have completed a summer research program or internship may receive an additional scholarship of $1,850. Each Scholar will have opportunities for enrichment activities involving faculty, industrial partners and peers through mentoring and collaborative learning experiences.Broader impact: Recruiting is initiated through personalized letters from PIs to potentially eligible students. To encourage applications from women, underrepresented students and those with disabilities, notices are posted in specialized campus locations such as the Women's and Cross-Cultural Centers. Primary objectives are to support timely degree completion; increase research and internship opportunities; and increase numbers of low-income, underrepresented and first generation college students, women, and persons with disabilities entering quantitative and interdisciplinary science graduate programs.
