This S-STEM project awards 20 scholarships of up to $5,500 per student per year for up to four years to full-time financially disadvantaged students who are talented in mathematics and computer science. The proposal is essentially a systematic plan to attract, nurture, and prepare masters students to do doctoral studies in mathematics or computer science. Between 10-12 of the 20 of these awards are for graduate students, and the remainder for the undergraduates who form a feeder-pool for the graduate programs. Students are provided extensive support, including faculty mentors. Additional educational opportunities include internship and research experiences, and regularly scheduled forums and colloquia that cover research findings and topics on mathematics and computer science. The goals of this project are: (1) Increased retention of students to degree achievement; (2) Improved student support programs; (3) Improved educational opportunities for students; and (4) Increased numbers of well-educated and skilled employees in technical areas of national need. A major outcome of the project is a significant increase in the pool of minority students who will qualify for and enroll in mathematics and computer science doctoral programs.

该 S-STEM 项目向在数学和计算机科学方面有天赋的全日制经济困难学生提供 20 项奖学金，每名学生每年最高可达 5,500 美元，为期四年。该提案本质上是一个吸引、培养和准备硕士生攻读数学或计算机科学博士学位的系统计划。在这 20 个奖项中，有 10-12 个奖励给研究生，其余奖励给本科生，他们构成了研究生项目的后备人才库。学生获得广泛的支持，包括教师导师。其他教育机会包括实习和研究经验，以及定期安排的论坛和座谈会，涵盖数学和计算机科学的研究成果和主题。该项目的目标是： (1) 提高学生获得学位的保留率； (2) 改进学生支持计划； (3) 改善学生的教育机会； (4) 增加国家需要的技术领域受过良好教育和技术熟练的员工数量。该项目的一个主要成果是有资格并就读数学和计算机科学博士课程的少数族裔学生人数显着增加。
