Promoting academic and career success for Raleigh Future Scholars at NC State

罗利未来学者计划为攻读工程和统计学科学位的本科生提供全面的财务、指导和职业支持。学生是从罗利承诺招募的：一个跨部门的社区合作项目，旨在提高北卡罗来纳州罗利有学术天赋和经济弱势青年的教育成果。在学年开始之前，该计划从夏季过渡计划开始，为即将入学的学生提供指导和掌握必要的技能，以适应严格的本科时间表。这种支持通过提供毕业指导、职业咨询、实习和个人指导等方式继续进行。学生们通过电子档案记录这些活动，帮助他们看到自己的进步，有效地沟通科学和工程，获得较高的道德标准和专业精神，并为实现他们的人生目标的职业生涯做好准备。该项目的评估旨在提供一个招聘、保留和学术建议的模式，并可转移到其他机构的STEM项目中。拟议的奖学金计划的更广泛影响是提高北卡罗莱纳州立大学的能力，以增加学生在需要的领域的代表性，并突出本科生支持服务的要素（如经济、学术、社会和职业相关），需要解决，以促进长期可持续的变化。

The Raleigh Future Scholars program offers a comprehensive package of financial, mentoring, and career support to undergraduate students pursuing degrees in engineering and statistics disciplines. Students are recruited from the Raleigh Promise: a cross-sector community partnership program designed to increase educational outcomes for academically talented and economically disadvantaged youth in Raleigh, NC. Prior to the start of the academic year, the program begins with a summer transition program, offering incoming students guidance and mastering of necessary skills to shift into the rigorous undergraduate schedule. This support continues through graduation offering mentoring, career counseling, internships and personal guidance. Students self-document these activities through an e-portfolio that helps them see their progress, to communicate effectively about science and engineering, to acquire high ethical standards and professionalism, and to prepare for careers that fulfill their goals in life. The assessment of this project is designed to provide a model of recruitment, retention, and academic advising, transferable to STEM programs at other institutions. The broader impacts of the proposed scholarship program are to improve North Carolina State University's capacities to increase the representation of students in areas of need and to highlight elements of undergraduate student support services (e.g. financial, academic, social, and career-related) that need to be addressed in order to promote long-term sustainable change.
