Students at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) are usually self-supported, with approximately 43% of Engineering and Applied Science freshmen and 70% of seniors working during the academic year. This significantly increases their time to graduation. Because UCCS has few scholarships available, students work longer hours than those on many other campuses. UCCS also serves a sizeable under-represented minority (12.7%, not including Asians) and rural population. These students often have lower family incomes and need to work to pay for their education. To enhance enrollment, retention and graduation rates, and to increase the quality of students, this project will award 40 scholarships at $2,500 each. The scholarships enable the recipients to pursue studies full-time, enhance their educational experience, and enter the workforce in CSEM fields. The scholarships are awarded to freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, after a rigorous selection process. The students are selected based on two sets of criteria: academic and professional. Academic criteria include high GPA, strong letters of reference, and a well-thought out written plan of study. Professional criteria include participation in mentoring or other service activities, student organizations, leadership roles, career goals, and interviews. Awardees are monitored carefully and meet every month with their assigned mentor and other faculty.

科罗拉多大学科罗拉多斯普林斯分校 (UCCS) 的学生通常是自费的，大约 43% 的工程与应用科学新生和 70% 的大四学生在学年期间工作。 这大大增加了他们毕业的时间。由于 UCCS 提供的奖学金很少，学生的工作时间比许多其他校园的学生要长。 UCCS 还为相当多的代表性不足的少数族裔（12.7%，不包括亚洲人）和农村人口提供服务。这些学生的家庭收入往往较低，需要工作来支付学费。 为了提高入学率、保留率和毕业率，并提高学生质量，该项目将颁发 40 份奖学金，每份奖学金金额为 2,500 美元。这些奖学金使获奖者能够进行全日制学习，增强他们的教育经验，并进入 CSEM 领域的劳动力市场。经过严格的选拔过程后，奖学金颁发给新生、大二、大三和大四的学生。学生的选择基于两套标准：学术标准和专业标准。学术标准包括高 GPA、强有力的推荐信和经过深思熟虑的书面学习计划。专业标准包括参与指导或其他服务活动、学生组织、领导角色、职业目标和面试。获奖者受到仔细监控，并每月与指定的导师和其他教师会面。
