Support for Undergraduate Scholars in Mathematical, Computational and Physical Sciences at the University of Northern Iowa

四批七名学业优秀、经济困难的学生将获得每年7,000美元的奖学金。 奖学金为期一至四年，颁发给自然科学学院主修生物、化学、计算机科学、地球科学、工业技术或物理学的学生。 此外，每年将向选择进行全日制暑期学习的三名学者提供每人2000美元的奖学金。 有一个重点是增加学生人数从代表性不足的群体在STEM学科毕业。 每月为学者举办一系列研讨会。 主题包括新生的经验，发展研究项目，面试技巧和研究生院的申请过程。 学者也有资格获得资金，前往专业会议和支付专业组织会费。

Four cohorts of seven academically talented, financially needy students will be receiving annual scholarships of $7,000 each. The scholarships will vary from one to four years in duration and be awarded to students in the College of Natural Sciences majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, industrial technology, or physics. Additionally, scholarships of $2000 each will be available annually to three scholars choosing to undertake fulltime summer studies. There is an emphasis of increasing the number of students from underrepresented groups graduating in STEM disciplines. Monthly seminar series are being offered to the scholars. Topics include the freshmen experience, developing research projects, interviewing skills and the graduate school application process. The scholars also are eligible for funds to travel to professional conferences and to defray professional organization dues.
