Moravian College Scholars in Mathematics and Computer Science Program

摩拉维亚学院数学和计算机科学学者计划为转到摩拉维亚学院完成数学或计算机科学学士学位的社区大学生提供奖学金。学生将获得为期两年的奖学金，如有必要，还可在摩拉维亚大学获得第五学期的奖学金。该计划的目标是：1)为那些原本无力负担私立文科学院教育的社区学院学生提供进入摩拉维亚学院学习的机会；2)加强摩拉维亚学院与该地区社区学院之间现有的联系并建立新的联系；3)扩大社区学院转学学生在摩拉维亚学院数学和计算机科学方面的参与；4)增加从摩拉维亚学院获得数学和计算机科学学位的社区学院转学学生的数量。该项目通过提供定向、暑期衔接计划、以及参与研究项目的机会，最终是为K-12学生举办的一次会议。该项目将通过暑期项目的服务学习方面对摩拉维亚学院和利哈伊谷产生持续的影响，该项目将使K-12区的学生接触到数学和计算机科学的有趣方面，提高对STEM领域机会的认识。社区学院和摩拉维亚学院之间的关系将得到加强，未来安排STEM学生入学的机会也将增加。

The Moravian College Scholars in Mathematics and Computer Science Program provides scholarships to community college students who transfer to Moravian College to complete a bachelor's degree in mathematics or computer science. Students are awarded scholarships for two years and, if necessary, for a fifth semester at Moravian. The objectives of this program are: 1) to provide opportunities for area community college students who otherwise would not be able to afford a private liberal arts college education to attend Moravian College, 2) to enhance existing and build new bonds between Moravian College and community colleges in the area, 3) to broaden participation of community college transfer students in mathematics and computer science at Moravian College and 4) to increase the number of community college transfer students who graduate from Moravian College with a degree in mathematics and computer science.This project eases the difficulties of transfer students by providing orientation, a summer bridge program, and opportunities to engage in research projects culminating in a conference for K-12 students. This project will have a sustained impact on Moravian College as well as the Lehigh Valley via the service-learning aspects of the summer program which exposes area K-12 students to interesting aspects of mathematics and computer science, raising awareness of STEM field opportunities. Relationships between community colleges and Moravian College will be strengthened and opportunities for future STEM student placement are enhanced.
