S-STEM Scholars Program At Purchase College, SUNY

该项目是支持学术人才和经济上有需要的生物化学，生物学，化学和数学/计算机科学的学生提供了159个年度奖学金，新生，转让和继续在其五年期间的学生。这些奖学金使学生能够完成这些目标学科的学士学位，并进入劳动力市场或继续研究生教育。奖学金被授予与加强生物化学和化学方案的额外重点。智力优势：基于最新的最佳实践研究，该S-STEM计划正在增加生物化学，生物学，化学和数学/计算机科学学生的数量，他们成功地完成了这些领域的学士学位。这个S-STEM项目的管理计划是基于从实施NSF CSEMS奖学金赠款中吸取的经验教训。财政援助和招生管理职能的副总裁和职业发展总监是这个S-STEM项目的规划不可或缺的。S-STEM学生正在提供一个全面的学生支持服务计划，包括学习社区，咨询，辅导，同伴指导和研究机会。更广泛的影响：生物化学、生物学、化学和数学/计算机科学课程为大量代表性不足的少数民族（30%）和女性（53%）学生提供服务，其中许多人将在未来成为美国STEM劳动力的主要组成部分。S-STEM奖学金帮助有学术天赋和经济困难的学生完成目标领域的学位。

This project is supporting academically talented and financially needy Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics/Computer Science students by providing a total of 159 annual scholarships to freshmen, transfer and continuing students over its five year period. These scholarships enable students to complete a baccalaureate degree in these targeted disciplines and enter the workforce or go on to post-graduate education. Scholarships are being awarded with an extra emphasis on strengthening the Biochemistry and Chemistry programs. Intellectual Merit: Based on up-to-date research of best practices, this S-STEM program is increasing the number of Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics/Computer Science students who successfully complete their baccalaureate degrees in these fields. The management plan of this S-STEM project is based upon lessons learned from implementing an NSF CSEMS Scholarship grant. The Vice President of Financial Aid and Enrollment Management Functions and the Director of Career Development are integral to the planning of this S-STEM project. S-STEM students are being provided a comprehensive program of student support services including a learning community, advising, tutoring, peer mentoring, and research opportunities). An external evaluator is assisting in identifying programmatic needs as the project is implemented and evaluating its outcomes.Broader Impact: The Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics/Computer Science programs at the serve significant numbers of underrepresented minorities (30%) and female (53%) students many of whom will make up the much of the U.S. STEM workforce in the future. S-STEM scholarships assist academically talented and financially needy students to complete their degrees in the targeted fields.
