The Math and Science, Technology, Engineering Reinforcement (MASTER) Scholar Program is providing twenty scholarships per year to students with strong academic ability and financial need to study a variety of STEM disciplines including Agroecology, Biology, Chemistry, Drafting Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Natural Resource Biology, and Physics. The project's intellectual merit rests on an experienced faculty and staff with access to institutional and community resources that are dedicated to increasing student engagement and supporting student transition into four-year programs and/or the workforce. Specific project activities include faculty mentoring; a special one-credit course for all scholars on professional skills, time and stress management, career orientation, and introduction to internship opportunities; and career placement and transfer services. The project's broader impacts are being felt through its provision of opportunity to students in a rural region in the Rocky Mountain West. The project also sees importance in the peer influence of its scholars on other prospective STEM students and the potential for the overall project to serve as a model for similar small rural institutions.

数学和科学，技术，工程增强（Master）学者计划每年为具有强大学术能力且经济需求的学生提供二十个奖学金，以研究各种STEM学科，包括农业生态学，生物学，化学，化学，起草技术，工程，数学，自然资源生物学和物理学。该项目的智力优点取决于经验丰富的教职员工，并获得了访问机构和社区资源的访问权，这些资源致力于增加学生的参与度并支持学生过渡到四年制课程和/或劳动力。特定的项目活动包括教师指导；针对所有学者专业技能，时间和压力管理，职业培养和实习机会介绍的特殊单学课程；以及职业安置和转会服务。通过向落基山西部的农村地区提供机会的机会，正在感受到该项目的更广泛影响。该项目还认为，其学者对其他潜在STEM学生的同伴影响以及整个项目成为类似小型农村机构的模型的潜力。
