The University of North Dakota is using environmental awareness to recruit and retain academically talented and financial-needy students to major in biology, chemistry, mathematics or environmental geography. The teaching of environmental science "in context" is being employed to provide engaging and meaningful learning experiences as students progress toward degree attainment and career goals. To achieve the recruitment objectives, 16 students, in two cohorts, are being awarded scholarships with priority given to American Indian students. To help ensure the retention and progress of these students, the scholarship program also places a premium on intensive advising and student engagement activities, of which participation in an environmental issues seminar series is most prominent. This scholarship program enables students from underrepresented groups with limited financial opportunities to enter STEM programs. The University of North Dakota has a history of successful work with American Indian students by providing a strong support system; however, these students have minimal involvement in non-medically related majors. Therefore, this project is taking an important step that is increasing awareness about opportunities in STEM majors and engaging these American Indian students as majors in traditional STEM disciplines.

北达科他大学正在利用环境意识来招募和保留学术才华和经济上神秘的学生，专业的生物学，化学，数学或环境地理学专业。 随着学生朝着学位成就和职业目标迈进，环境科学的教学“在上下文中”被用来提供引人入胜且有意义的学习经验。为了实现招聘目标，有16名学生，两名同伙的学生被授予优先授予美洲印第安学生的奖学金。 为了帮助确保这些学生的保留和进步，奖学金计划还对密集的咨询和学生参与活动提出了溢价，其中参与环境问题研讨会系列是最突出的。 该奖学金计划使来自代表性不足的团体的学生进入STEM计划的经济机会有限。北达科他大学通过提供强大的支持系统与美洲印第安人的学生有成功的历史。但是，这些学生参与非医疗相关专业的专业。 因此，该项目正在采取重要的步骤，它正在提高人们对STEM专业机会的认识，并将这些美洲印度学生作为传统STEM学科的专业。
