Twenty academically talented students at the University of Central Florida (UCF) are being selected each year from science and engineering disciplines, with a special focus on mathematics and computer sciences, for scholarships in the range of $4,000 to $10,000 depending on financial need. Recruited students are in one of the following three groups (a) recent transfers to the university, (b) freshman undergraduate students and (c) first-year graduate students. New transfer students to UCF are being provided moral and financial support to help them with the transition and to ensure they will successfully complete the bachelor's degree in a STEM field. In particular, juniors are in a critical period in their university studies because it is when they embark on advanced courses in the major. The support of the S-STEM mentors ensures these transfer students are being supported during this critical period of time. The support for freshman undergraduates is providing them with much-needed study skill development and academic guidance when they are adjusting to a more independent life. Support for incoming graduate students is stabilizing their transition to heightened demands and is providing release from employment duties so they can focus on their academic endeavors. UCF has a significant population of underrepresented students and more than 80% of transfer and 60% of entering freshmen have demonstrated financial need; thus, the S-STEM scholarships are appealing to a broad range of students.Carefully designed activities are engaging all the student participants in active research seminars, lectures, departmental and college colloquia of the various academic units at UCF involved with the S-STEM project. These activities are providing incentives to keep the students engaged in their STEM major and motivating them to excel academically. Students completing the year-long project will be streamlined into existing research groups that have good industrial partnerships. These industrial connections will be used to place qualified students directly into the workforce.

每年，佛罗里达大学中央大学（UCF）的二十名学术才华的学生从科学和工程学科中选出，特别关注数学和计算机科学，奖学金在4,000至10,000美元之间的奖学金，根据财务需求。招聘学生是以下三组（a）最近向大学的转学，（b）新生的本科生和（c）一年级研究生。向UCF提供了新的转学学生的道德和财政支持，以帮助他们进行过渡，并确保他们将成功完成STEM领域的学士学位。特别是，大三学生在大学学习中处于关键时期，因为这是他们启动专业的高级课程的时候。 S-STEM导师的支持确保了在这个关键时期内支持这些转学学生。对新生的本科生的支持是在适应更独立的生活时为他们提供急需的学习技能发展和学术指导。支持入学的研究生正在稳定他们向需求增强的过渡，并正在释放就业职责，以便他们可以专注于学术努力。 UCF的人数不足，代表人数不足，转移的80％以上，而有60％的新生表现出了经济需求；因此，S-STEM奖学金吸引了广泛的学生。精心设计的活动正在吸引所有学生参与S-STEM项目的UCF各个学术单位的活跃研究研讨会，讲座，系和大学座谈会。 这些活动提供了激励措施，以使学生参与其STEM专业，并激励他们在学术上表现出色。完成为期一年的项目的学生将简化成具有良好工业合作伙伴关系的现有研究小组。这些工业联系将用于将合格的学生直接纳入劳动力。
