Undergraduate Scholarships in Biomolecular Engineering, Science and Technology

这个项目，通过化学和生物化学系管理，提供了一个奖学金计划，每年高达20名学术才华的本科生谁正在攻读学士学位密切相关的生物学，化学和工程学科的队列。程序功能包括：1）增加来自代表性不足群体的STEM毕业生人数，2）减少学位时间，3）提供支持服务，提高学生的学位成就和STEM职业的保留率。该计划解决了大学课程的前两年，作为学生在STEM学科保留的基础，并通过提供增强的指导，围绕生活学习社区的学生支持服务的连贯套件，以及与研究活跃的教师和校友互动的多种机会，进一步取得学术成功。此外，它还促进学者参与体验式学习计划（如本科研究和实习），为他们提供在大学取得成功所需的技能，经验和动机，并进入STEM学科的生产，可持续和有价值的职业生涯。该计划的一个更广泛的目标是创建和记录一个可扩展和可转移的范式的有效性，为未来的科学和技术领导者的教育。

This project, administered through a chemistry and biochemistry department, provides a scholarship program for annual cohorts of up to 20 academically talented undergraduates who are pursuing baccalaureate degrees in closely allied biology, chemistry, and engineering disciplines. Program functions are to: 1) increase the number of STEM graduates from underrepresented groups, 2) decrease time-to-degree, and 3) provide support services that improve retention of students to degree achievement and placement in STEM careers. The program addresses the first two years of the college curriculum as a foundation for retention of students in STEM disciplines and for further academic success by providing enhanced mentoring, a coherent suite of student support services based around a Living Learning Community, and multiple opportunities for interactions with research active faculty and alumni. In addition, it fosters enhanced involvement of scholars in experiential learning programs (such as undergraduate research and internships) that provide them with the skills, experiences, and motivations needed to succeed in college and to enter productive, sustainable and rewarding careers in STEM disciplines. A broader goal of the program is to create and document the effectiveness of a scalable and transferable paradigm for the education of tomorrow's leaders in science and technology.
