Intellectual Merit: Through collaboration between its Divisions of Physical and Biological Sciences and Division of Student Affairs, UCSD is providing scholarships for low-income undergraduates majoring in quantitative or interdisciplinary science. Thirty qualifying students will receive $3,000 annually over four years or until graduation beginning in fall, 2006; 12-15 upper-division students will receive $3,000 annually for two years effective fall, 2008. Upper-division students who have completed a summer research program or internship may receive an additional scholarship of $1,850. Each Scholar will have opportunities for enrichment activities involving faculty, industrial partners and peers through mentoring and collaborative learning experiences.Broader impact: Recruiting is initiated through personalized letters from PIs to potentially eligible students. To encourage applications from women, underrepresented students and those with disabilities, notices are posted in specialized campus locations such as the Women's and Cross-Cultural Centers. Primary objectives are to support timely degree completion; increase research and internship opportunities; and increase numbers of low-income, underrepresented and first generation college students, women, and persons with disabilities entering quantitative and interdisciplinary science graduate programs.

智力优点：通过其物理和生物科学的划分与学生事务部之间的合作，UCSD正在为低收入本科生提供奖学金，主修定量或跨学科科学。 30名资格学生将在四年内每年获得3,000美元，或者直到2006年秋季毕业； 12-15个上级学生每年将获得3,000美元的2008年生效。 每个学者都将有机会通过指导和协作学习经验来涉及教师，工业伙伴和同伴的丰富活动。BOADERIMPACT：通过PIS的个性化信件向潜在的合格学生发起招聘。为了鼓励妇女的申请，代表性不足的学生和残疾人的申请，通知发布在妇女和跨文化中心等专业校园地点。主要目标是支持及时的学位完成；增加研究和实习机会；并增加了低收入，代表性不足和第一代大学生，女性和残疾人的数量，他们进入定量和跨学科科学研究生课程。
