Science, Technology, and Math Preparation Scholarships (STAMPS)

STAMPS项目：科学，技术和数学准备奖学金通过支持学术上有才华和经济上有需要的学生，包括少数民族，妇女和第一代大学生，努力完成STEM学科（自然，物理，地球和计算机科学）的大学学位，为国家利益服务。该项目正在为STEM学科的优秀学生提供财务、学术、指导和咨询支持，以提高他们的保留率，并为学生从事科学和技术职业或在专业领域（例如，医学、牙科、药学、研究生院）。通过这样做，该项目正在增加高技能工作或科学技术职业的人才库。该项目还在开发如何支持和培训学生成为与其他大学共享的熟练劳动力的最佳做法。STAMPS招收一年级STEM学生的多元化群体进入为期一年的综合科学课程，旨在创建一个队列，由教师和同行导师和服务的支持。STAMPS学生有机会进行研究，与STEM演讲者互动，旅行，并在纳米科学和纳米工程联合学校促进阴影。我们的目标是1）录取，然后毕业STAMPS学者进入干职业或研究生院; 2）识别和支持干学习者的多元化社区; 3）创建一个支持和自我维持的环境STAMPS学者;和4）发现什么工作，为什么和分享这些知识给广大观众。

The project STAMPS: Science, Technology and Math Preparation Scholarships is serving the national interest by supporting academically talented and financially needy students, including minority, women and first-generation college students, in their efforts to complete their college degrees in the STEM disciplines (Natural, Physical, Earth and Computer Sciences). The project is providing financial, academic, mentoring and advising support to talented students in the STEM disciplines to increase their retention rates and better prepare students for science and technology-based careers or for advance study in professional (e.g., medical, dental, pharmacy, graduate) schools. By doing so, the project is increasing the pool of talented individuals for highly skilled jobs or careers in science and technology. The project is also developing best practices on how to support and train students for a skilled workforce that is shared with other universities. STAMPS enrolls a diverse group of first year STEM students into a yearlong integrated science course, designed to create a cohort, supported by faculty and peer mentors and services. STAMPS students have opportunities for research, interacting with STEM speakers, travel, and facilitated shadowing at the Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. The goals are to 1) matriculate and then graduate STAMPS scholars into STEM careers or graduate school; 2) identify and support a diverse community of STEM learners; 3) create a supportive and self-sustaining environment for STAMPS scholars; and 4) discover what works and why and share this knowledge to a broad audience.
