Women in Science and Engineering Undergraduate Scholars Program (WiSE UP)

妇女在科学和工程本科学者计划（WiSE UP）的目标是提供有竞争力的奖学金和学术/职业建设的支持活动，以学术才华，经济上处于不利地位的非洲裔美国女性谁追求科学，技术，工程和数学（干）学位。WiSE UP提供了一系列学术充实和支持活动，旨在促进学生成功完成学士学位和探索研究生院的机会。该项目的智力优势反映在该计划的综合性上，该计划旨在为学者提供增强的学术社区意识，这对学生的学习，信心，表现和提高学者的保留率产生积极影响，他们为下一阶段做好了更多准备。斯佩尔曼学院的WiSE UP每学年将为生物学，化学/生物化学，计算机科学，工程学，环境科学，数学和物理学专业的优秀学生颁发28个奖项。该项目具有广泛的影响，因为非洲裔美国妇女获得学位的性别差距由于支持学生教育追求的资金有限而变得更加严重。

The goal of the Women in Science and Engineering Undergraduate Scholars Program (WiSE UP) is to offer competitive scholarships and academic/career-building support activities to academically talented, economically disadvantaged African American females who pursue a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degree. WiSE UP provides a cluster of academic enrichment and support activities designed to promote student success in completing their bachelor's degree and exploring graduate school opportunities. Intellectual merits of the project are reflected in the comprehensive nature of the program that is designed to deliver scholars with an enhanced sense of academic community, which positively impacts student learning, confidence, performance, and improved retention of scholars, who are more prepared for the next phase in their life. WiSE UP at Spelman College will make 28 awards per academic year to deserving students majoring in biology, chemistry/biochemistry, computer science, engineering, environmental science, mathematics, and physics. The project has significant broader impacts as the gender gap in degrees earned by African American women is made worse by the limited availability of funds to support student's educational pursuits.
