Scholarships for Success in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

新泽西州理查德斯托克顿学院每年为有才华但经济困难的学生提供25个S-STEM奖学金，这些学生攻读计算机科学和信息系统、工程、计算科学或数学学士学位。该项目增加了本科生的保留率和研究生院或STEM职业的安置。特别的外展活动包括提高认识运动，教师参与高中/县学院和计算机博览会。为吸引和留住女性CSIS专业学生，我们提供了特殊的指导。学术支持由特别设计的课程提供，如“连接计算机科学和微积分的桥梁”，这使得微积分的表现提高了20%。“计算机领域的女性”课程的目标是一年级学生增加并保留女性专业。在打算主修CSIS的女性中，在第二年及以后，100%的学生仍然是CSIS专业。还提供编程、指导、实习和研究经验方面的辅导。该项目建立在之前一个成功的国家科学基金项目的基础上，该项目使参与学生的保留率提高了96%，gpa提高了10%。每个毕业生都找到了与专业相关的工作或被研究生院录取。73%的斯托克顿学生符合经济需求，26%是第一代大学生。这个奖学金项目可以让学生减少工作量，专注于学业。

The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey provides twenty-five S-STEM scholarships each year for talented yet financially disadvantaged students pursuing baccalaureate degrees in computer science and information systems, engineering, computational science or mathematics. The program increases both undergraduate retention and placements in graduate schools or STEM careers. Special outreach activities include awareness campaigns, faculty involvement with high schools/county colleges and a computer fair. Special mentoring is provided to attract and retain female CSIS majors. Academic support is provided by especially designed courses such as 'Bridges Connecting Computer Science and Calculus' which has resulted in a 20% improvement in performance in calculus. The 'Women in Computing' course targets first year students to increase and retain female majors. Among the women who intend to major in CSIS, 100% of those in this course are still CSIS majors at the end of the second year and beyond. Tutoring in programming, mentoring and internship and research experiences are also offered. This program builds on a previous successful NSF project which resulted in a 96% retention rate and a 10% increase in GPAs among participating students. Every graduate found a major-related job or acceptance into graduate school. Seventy-three percent of Stockton students qualify for financial need and 26% are first-generation college students. This scholarship program enables students to work less and focus on academics.
