AACCESS: Arlington Academy for Community College Exceptional Students in Science

这项S-STEM奖学金项目是塔兰特县学区和德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校的合作项目。该项目为经济困难、学业上有天赋的学生提供奖学金，这些学生已经在TCD完成了基本的数学和科学要求，并正在转入UTA的物理或化学课程。该项目的一个特点是，奖学金获得者有机会参与正在进行的研究项目，在这些项目中，他们将得到进行研究的教师和研究生的指导。教师和研究生导师接受了辅导方面的培训，重点是辅导来自代表性不足群体的学生。该项目建立在之前NSF资助的奖学金项目的成功基础上，并利用了TCD和UTA之间的现有合作伙伴关系。有一个全面的项目管理团队，其中包括来自TCD和UTA的教职员工和管理人员。该项目包括一项正式评价计划，包括形成部分和总结部分。

This S-STEM scholars program is a partnership between the Tarrant County College District (TCCD) and the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). This project provides scholarships to financially needy, academically talented students who have completed basic math and science requirements at TCCD and are transferring into the physics or chemistry programs at UTA. A feature of this project is that scholarship recipients are given the opportunity to participate in ongoing research projects where they will receive mentoring from the faculty and graduate students conducting the research. The faculty and graduate student mentors are given training in mentoring with an emphasis on mentoring students from underrepresented groups. The project builds on the success of prior NSF funded scholarship programs and leverages the existing partnership between TCCD and UTA. There is a comprehensive project management team that includes faculty and administrators from both TCCD and UTA. The project includes a formal evaluation plan with both formative and summative components.
