NSF Lab Science Scholarships

该项目为从当地高中招募的代表性不足和社会经济困难群体的学生提供奖学金，以攻读化学、物理和环境科学学位。该机构正在介绍奖学金获得者在一个多学科研究密集的第一年研讨会上进行研究，以提高他们对科学的兴趣。正在作出更多努力，通过为他们提供暑期研究实习机会，建立一批志同道合的学生，同行指导，社区服务机会，并促进参加各种会议和会议，来培养对科学的热情。通过额外的关注和咨询，提高来自代表不足群体的学生的积极性，加强了该项目的智力价值。更广泛的影响在于它对当地高中的影响，以及进入专业学校和研究生院的学生人数增加。该计划正在帮助解决地区和当地的科学劳动力短缺问题。

This project is providing scholarships to students from underrepresented and soci-economically challenged groups recruited from local high schools, to pursue degrees in chemistry, physics and environmental science. This institution is introducing scholarship recipients to research in a multi-disciplinary research intensive first-year seminar to increase their interest in science. Additional efforts are being made to create a passion for science by offering them a summer research internship, establishing a cohort of like minded students, peer mentoring, community service opportunities and facilitating participation in meetings and conferences. The intellectual merit of this project is strengthened by increasing the enthusiasm of students from underrepresented groups through additional attention and counseling. The broader impact lies in its impact on local high schools and in increasing the number of students entering professional and graduate schools. The program is helping to address regional and local workforce shortages in the sciences.
