Scholars in Math and Science (SIMS), a program to enhance diversity in the sciences.

这个项目，数学和科学学者（西姆斯），解决了少数民族在STEM和健康科学领域的持续代表性不足的问题。 分两批向6至8名学生提供奖学金;第一批为期四年，第二批为期三年，最后一年由学校支付。 基于全面的文献综述，完成了七个关键行动，以确保学生的招聘和成功。这些是（1）在指导顾问和地区免费诊所的帮助下，在合作高中进行目标招聘，（2）新生入学指导和第一年研讨会，（3）高中和大学之间的桥梁计划，（4）指导，研究或实习经验，（5）辅导，在这种情况下，同伴主导的学习课程，如普通化学和有机化学，物理和微积分，（6）职业咨询和意识，（7）经济援助。更广泛的影响是，学生在同一课程的学者受益于相同的支持服务，这一项目的成果正在专业传播。

This project, the Scholars in Math and Science (SIMS), addresses the continued under representation of minorities in both the STEM and health science fields. Two cohorts of six to eight students are granted scholarships; the first group for four years and the second for three years with the last year paid for by the school. Based on a comprehensive literature review, seven key actions are done to ensure student recruitment and success. These are (1) target recruitment at partnering high schools with help from guidance counselors and at the area free clinic, (2) pre-freshman orientation and first-year seminar, (3) a bridge program between high school and college, (4) mentoring, research or internship experience, (5) tutoring, in this case peer led learning sessions for gateway courses such as general and organic chemistry, physics and calculus, (6) career counseling and awareness, and (7) financial assistance. The broader impacts are that students in the same courses as the Scholars benefit from the same support services and the results of this project are being professionally disseminated.
