In this project academically talented, financially disadvantaged students are receiving scholarship support to pursue undergraduate degrees in Electronics Engineering Technology or Computer and Information Science. Student support activities such as career advising and participation in externships in a host industry contribute to early professional development for the scholars and increase job placement opportunities within the technology sector upon graduation. The intellectual merit of the project is grounded in an established, tested, and academically rigorous curriculum, longstanding partnerships with industry leaders, and continuous student/faculty collaborative engagement in the form of individualized faculty advising and continuous monitoring of academic progress. The project is broadening its impact by disseminating lessons learned about new strategies for student retention and success, such as the use of an electronic journal to track student progress, and continuous interaction with faculty advisors. The diversity of the regional population also guarantees a diverse applicant pool for the scholarships.

在这个项目中，学术才华横溢、经济困难的学生将获得奖学金支持，以攻读电子工程技术或计算机和信息科学的本科学位。职业咨询和参加所在行业的实习等学生支持活动有助于学者的早期专业发展，并增加毕业后在技术领域的就业机会。该项目的智力优势基于已建立的、经过测试的、学术严谨的课程、与行业领导者的长期合作伙伴关系，以及以个性化教师建议和持续监控学术进展的形式持续的学生/教师协作参与。该项目正在通过传播有关学生保留和成功的新策略的经验教训来扩大其影响力，例如使用电子日记来跟踪学生的进步，以及与教师顾问的持续互动。地区人口的多样性也保证了奖学金申请者的多样化。
