The Rocky Mountain Scholars Program

在这个项目中，从一个区域联盟的社区学院转入科罗拉多州立大学的学生在STEM学科的最后两年学习中获得奖学金。 联盟机构的学生主要是西班牙裔，来自当地社区。 这个项目是非常敏感的通知学生和他们的家庭在CSU的机会。 在每一批新的八名转学生中，落基山学者计划不仅提供经济援助，还为大学的学术和社会过渡提供支持。 现有的本科生研究中心提供研究机会和学术支持。 两名研究生接受培训，担任学生的导师。 该项目的最终目标是在学术科学代表性不足的人群中发现有才华的学生，并提供必要的支持，鼓励他们坚持学业。他们中的一些人最终将成为下一代的教授;所有人都将通过他们的STEM技能做出贡献的能力来增强他们的社区。

In this project students transferring into Colorado State University from community colleges in a regional alliance are given scholarships for their last two years of study in one of the STEM disciplines. Alliance institutions are heavily Hispanic in the ethnicity of their students, drawn from the local community. This project is unusually sensitive to informing the students and their families of the opportunities at CSU. In each new cohort of eight transfer students, the Rocky Mountain Scholars Program provides not only financial aid but support for the academic and social transition to the university. An existing Center for Undergraduate Research provides research opportunities and academic support. Two graduate students are trained to serve as mentors to the students. The ultimate goal of the project is to identify talented students among a population underrepresented in academic science and provide the support needed to encourage them to persevere in their education. Some of them ultimately will become professors for the next generation; all will enhance their communities with their ability to contribute with the skills of STEM.
