This project awards 20 scholarships of $3,125 per year for 4 years to full-time undergraduate and graduate financially disadvantaged talented students to follow a challenging program in mathematics and computer science. It sustain the gains made in building graduate program by a previous CSEMS grant; supports mathematics and computer science students in the newly formed Honors College; and increases the number of minority individuals employed in the fields of mathematics and computer science. It includes student research experience; participation in departmental colloquia; provides internships for students in banks, hospitals, and industry; and increases the number of well-prepared African American and Hispanic students who successfully compete for admission to graduate programs in mathematics and computer science. The project includes a built in strong support system that enables students to handle the rigors of the program.Intellectual merit: The program continues a successful previous CSEMS project and extends it into new areas with the University Honors Program. Forums for intensive informal interaction between faculty and students are designed to bring out latent talents in students.Broader impact: Graduates of the program are hired in area high schools and colleges, and impart the philosophy of teaching mathematics and the culture of success in the program to their students and colleagues.

该项目向全日制本科生和经济困难的优秀学生提供 20 项奖学金，每年 3,125 美元，为期 4 年，以帮助他们攻读具有挑战性的数学和计算机科学课程。它维持了之前的 CSEMS 拨款在建立研究生项目方面取得的成果；支持新成立的荣誉学院的数学和计算机科学学生；并增加数学和计算机科学领域就业的少数族裔人数。它包括学生的研究经验；参加部门座谈会；为学生在银行、医院和工业界提供实习机会；并增加了准备充分的非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生的数量，他们成功竞争进入数学和计算机科学研究生课程。该项目包括一个内置的强大支持系统，使学生能够应对该项目的严格要求。智力优势：该项目延续了之前成功的 CSEMS 项目，并通过大学荣誉项目将其扩展到新领域。教师和学生之间进行密集非正式互动的论坛旨在发掘学生的潜在才能。更广泛的影响：该项目的毕业生受聘于地区高中和大学，并在该项目中传授数学教学理念和成功文化给他们的学生和同事。
