The goal of this Scholarship Program is: To encourage high achieving, low-income students, particularly of groups underrepresented in science, mathematics, engineering and technology, to pursue and attain degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics by providing sufficient scholarship funding to allow full-time enrollment in those disciplines. Although applications of all students who meet the guidelines of financial need and a strong interest in the eligible disciplines will be welcomed, aggressive efforts will be made to recruit minorities under represented in Mathematics, Science and Engineering, and females. The Division of Sciences and Engineering will lead the effort to recruit and retain the eligible students, with the assistance of the several offices within the Student Services area, including the Financial Aid Office, the Advising and Counseling, Peer Tutoring, and the Accessibility Offices. The scholarship recipients will be encouraged to take of advantage of the institution's Cooperative Education Program to gain hands on experiences in their areas of interest. Each student will be assigned a mentor within their discipline and will meet with that mentor periodically for academic advice as well as those concerning transfer and employment possibilities. The final report of the project will evaluate its success by number of Associate of Science (traditional transfer curriculum), Associate of Applied Science (technical employment readiness) degrees, and successful transfer and/or employment.

该奖学金计划的目标是：通过提供足够的奖学金资金，鼓励成绩优异的低收入学生，特别是在科学、数学、工程和技术领域代表性不足的群体，攻读并获得计算机科学、工程和数学学位。允许这些学科的全日制入学。尽管欢迎所有符合经济需要准则且对合格学科有浓厚兴趣的学生申请，但我们将积极努力招收数学、科学与工程以及女性中代表性不足的少数学生。科学与工程系将在学生服务领域内多个办公室的协助下，牵头招募和留住合格的学生，包括经济援助办公室、咨询和咨询、同伴辅导和无障碍办公室。我们将鼓励奖学金获得者利用该机构的合作教育计划来获得其感兴趣领域的实践经验。每个学生都会在其学科范围内被分配一名导师，并将定期与该导师会面以获取学术建议以及有关转学和就业可能性的建议。该项目的最终报告将通过理学副学士（传统转学课程）、应用科学副学士（技术就业准备）学位的数量以及成功转学和/或就业来评估其成功与否。
