Scholastic Reward for Talented Low Income Students in Computer, Physical, and Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics

该奖学金项目正在为计算机、物理和生物科学、工程和数学等专业有学术天赋的一年级学生招募和资助基于需求的奖学金，着眼于扩大未被充分代表的群体(女性、少数族裔和残疾人)参与STEM职业生涯，并满足对充分准备的科学和工程劳动力的需求。与S-STEM基金相辅相成的是院校基金，用于支持学业取得适当进步的学生获得高年级奖学金。奖学金获得者的选择取决于一系列因素，包括经济需要以及课程成绩和ACT分数的优秀标准。学生们还被要求定义学术和职业目标，并完成与教师和非大学S-STEM专业人士的面试。除了聘请高年级专业的学生担任导师外，该项目还将建立专门的队列学习小组，以促进协作学习，并与S-STEM教职员工每周举行顾问和咨询会议。一个外部行业咨询委员会正在评估、建议和帮助推广该计划。

This scholarship project is recruiting and funding need-based scholarships for academically talented first-year students in Computer, Physical, and Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics with an eye toward broadening participation in STEM careers of underrepresented groups (women, minorities, and disabled individuals) and meeting the demand for an adequately prepared scientific and engineering workforce. Complementing the S-STEM funds are institution funds that are supporting upper-division scholarships for students who make appropriate academic progress. Selection of scholarship recipients relies on a combination of factors including financial need and a standard of excellence in course grades and ACT scores. Students are also asked to define academic and career goals and complete an interview with faculty and non-college S-STEM professionals. The project is establishing special cohort study groups to promote collaborative learning, and weekly advisor and counseling sessions with S-STEM faculty, in addition to engaging upper-division majors as mentors. An external industry advisory board is evaluating, advising, and helping to promote the program.
