The goal of this scholarship program is to increase the recruitment and retention of students into courses of study in engineering and science, leading to an increase in the number of graduates prepared to enter the STEM workforce. The project is focusing particularly on incoming freshmen who demonstrate academic talent and financial need. The merit of the project lies in its leverage of a proven Integrated Engineering and Science Curriculum that includes team building, collaborative learning, and hands-on activities, as well as an emerging Living and Learning Community effort. A special Freshman Enrichment Program is providing further student support during the critical first year of college. The project expects eighty percent of its S-STEM scholars to graduate with a STEM degree. The broader impacts of the project are seen in the expected increase of over one hundred STEM professionals who would not have successfully completed a STEM degree without support. The project is demonstrating that providing financial and academic support to a focused cohort of students increases their success in obtaining STEM degrees and entering the workforce. Furthermore, the project expects its successful elements to serve as models for adaptation and implementation at other institutions.

该奖学金计划的目标是增加工程和科学课程的学生招募和留用率，从而增加准备进入 STEM 劳动力市场的毕业生人数。 该项目特别关注那些表现出学术才能和经济需求的新生。该项目的优点在于它利用了经过验证的综合工程和科学课程，包括团队建设、协作学习和实践活动，以及新兴的生活和学习社区的努力。一项特殊的新生强化计划正在关键的大学第一年提供进一步的学生支持。该项目预计 80% 的 S-STEM 学者毕业时将获得 STEM 学位。该项目的更广泛影响体现在预计将增加 100 多名 STEM 专业人士，如果没有支持，他们将无法成功完成 STEM 学位。该项目表明，为重点学生群体提供经济和学术支持可以提高他们获得 STEM 学位和进入劳动力市场的成功率。此外，该项目期望其成功要素能够成为其他机构适应和实施的典范。
