Enhancing Undergraduate Civil Engineering Opportunities for Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, Minorities and Female Students in South Carolina

Citadel的S-STEM奖学金计划集中了机构资源，以便将学生从代表性不足的人群中吸收到一个强大的土木工程学生发展计划中。这个S-STEM项目的目标是：为来自南卡罗来纳州的社会经济弱势群体、少数民族和女学生提供教育机会；为这些S-STEM土木工程学生提供更完善的学术支援架构；并提供一个加强的领导力发展计划，重点是在军校学员和土木工程兵团中培养有原则的领导力，以及培养专业的领导技能。该项目在四年期间提供23个奖学金，并监督学生在毕业、就业等方面的进展。通过提供集中的教师、同行、社区和行业支持，学生们具备了在土木工程专业取得成功所需的全面技能。在完成丰富的四年教育和学生发展经验后，毕业生将利用他们的土木工程知识和人际交往能力来解决社会对安全，健康，可持续和公平的建筑环境的需求。

The Citadel's S-STEM scholarship program concentrates institutional resources in order to assimilate students from underrepresented populations into a robust civil engineering student development program. The objectives of this S-STEM program are: to provide educational opportunities to socio-economically disadvantaged, minority and female students from South Carolina; to provide an enhanced academic support structure for these S-STEM civil engineering students; and to provide an enhanced leadership development program focusing on principled leadership within the Corps of Cadets and Civil Engineering, as well as developing professional leadership skills. This program provides 23 scholarships over a four-year period and monitors students' progress through graduation, employment and beyond. By providing concentrated faculty, peer, community, and industry support, students are equipped with a comprehensive array of skills needed to succeed in the civil engineering profession. Upon completion of an enriching four-year educational and student development experience, graduates will use their knowledge of civil engineering and interpersonal skills to address society's need for a safe, healthy, sustainable, and equitable built-environment.
