TIES: a Transfer Initiative for Engineering Scholars

工程学者转学倡议(TIES)为从两所大型少数族裔服务的社区学院转学到佐治亚理工学院工程专业的学生提供奖学金和支持服务。这个项目建立在其他几个由国家科学基金会资助的以学生为中心的项目的成功基础上。从社区大学转到佐治亚理工学院工程专业的本科生每年可获得最高1万美元的奖学金，以克服入学的经济障碍。工程学学者得到教员和同行指导，获得专门的指定教学助理，并有机会接触研究实验室和本科生的研究机会。在这个项目的生命周期内，将提供大约90个奖学金。

The Transfer Initiative for Engineering Scholars (TIES) provides scholarships and support services for students transferring from two large minority serving community colleges to engineering programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology. This project builds on the success of several other student centered programs funded by the National Science Foundation. Undergraduate students transferring into engineering programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology from community colleges receive scholarships of up to $10,000 per year to overcome financial barriers of attendance. Engineering scholars receive faculty and peer mentoring, access to specialized designated teaching assistants and exposure to research laboratories and undergraduate research opportunities. Approximately 90 scholarships will be provided during the life of this project.
