S-STEM: STARS Leadership Corps Computing Scholars: Pathways from Community College to Graduate School through Technical Excellence, Leadership, Service-learning and Community

两名各有10名学生的学生将从中央皮埃蒙特社区学院(CPCC)转到北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校(UNCC)的计算和信息学学院，每组10人，他们都有学术天赋，并有明显的经济需求。每名奖学金获得者的平均奖金为每年8700美元，为期三年，使他们能够在赔偿委员会的头两年完成学士学位，然后在第三年获得硕士学位。2+3转会协议的建立将维持这一计划，并产生远远超出S-STEM奖项存在的影响。有效的学生支持计划包括正式的教师指导、研究生指导、同伴社区建设活动、领导团队的发展和强有力的就业安置计划。STAR Leadance Corps不仅影响着UNCC的学生，也影响着高中和中学生，帮助建立了一条潜在的计算机科学学生的渠道。强大的评估小组和有效的传播计划确保与类似机构广泛分享显着的成功。

Two cohorts of 10 students each, who are academically talented with demonstrated financial need, are transferring from Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) into the College of Computing and Informatics at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte (UNCC). The average award to each scholar is $8,700 per year for three years, allowing the scholars to complete a Bachelors in the first two years and then a Masters degree in the third year at UNCC. The establishment of a 2+3 transfer agreement will sustain this program and have an impact well beyond the existence of the S-STEM award. An effective student support program includes formal faculty mentorship, graduate student mentorship, peer community building activities, development of a leadership corps, and a robust employment placement program. The STARS Leadership Corps is impacting not only UNCC students but also high school and middle school students helping establish a pipeline of potential computer science students. A strong assessment team and an effective dissemination plan ensure that notable successes will be broadly shared with similar institutions.
