Scholarships-Creating Opportunities for Applying Mathematics

该项目向攻读数学专业或辅修专业学士学位的30名成绩优秀但经济困难的本科高年级学生提供奖学金。它还向15名应用数学研究生颁发奖学金。本科奖学金针对的是从社区学院转学的学生，目的是为这些学生提供额外的财政支持，不仅鼓励他们完成本科学位，还鼓励他们攻读研究生学位。通过共同的课程安排、同侪指导、实习和研究经历，支持这些学者的成功和最终毕业。该项目的一些目标是增加攻读数学学位的学生人数，建立支持本科生和研究生的群体，扩大从社区学院招收STEM本科生，通过鼓励高等数学课程拓宽学生的职业选择，以及为接受行业标准软件包培训的毕业生提供就业准备。

This project is awarding scholarships to 30 academically talented but financially needy upper-division undergraduate students who are pursuing baccalaureate degrees with majors or minors in mathematics. It is also awarding scholarships to 15 graduate students in applied mathematics. The undergraduate scholarships are targeting students transferring from community colleges, and the intent is that financial support will provide additional incentive for these students not only to finish their undergraduate degrees, but also to pursue graduate degrees. The success and eventual graduation of the scholars is being supported through common course scheduling, peer mentoring, and internship and research experiences. Some of the goals of the project are to increase the number of students pursuing degrees in mathematics, to establish supportive cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students, to expand recruitment of STEM undergraduates from community colleges, to broaden the career options of students by encouraging advanced mathematics coursework, and to provide workforce-ready graduates trained on industry-standard software packages.
