This EES Program builds upon the successful NSF-funded Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) Program. This scholars program provides financial and academic support to first-year engineering students and new transfer students from two year community colleges who are academically qualified and have unmet financial need, with special consideration given to women, racial/ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities. The fundamental objectives of EES are to increase: (1) the number of talented students with financial need earning undergraduate engineering degrees; (2) the number of underrepresented students earning undergraduate engineering degrees; and (3) the retention and graduation rates of students earning undergraduate engineering degrees. EES Fellows will have access to a specific set of support programs, called the EES Community, designed to support and enhance their academic success. EES Fellows will participate in academic advising and EES seminars focusing on professional and academic development and career planning.

该EES计划基于成功的NSF资助的计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金（CSEMS）计划。该学者计划为一年级工程专业的学生和新的转学学生提供了财务和学术支持，他们的两年社区学院具有学术资格并且有未满足的财务需求，并特别考虑了妇女，种族/族裔少数民族和残疾人。 EES的基本目标是增加：（1）有经济需求的才华横溢的学生人数； （2）赚取本科工程学位的代表性不足的学生人数； （3）获得本科工程学位的学生的保留和毕业率。 EES研究员将可以访问一套名为EES社区的特定支持计划，旨在支持和增强他们的学术成就。 EES研究员将参加专业和学术发展和职业计划的学术建议和EES研讨会。
