Many academically talented students with demonstrated financial need must work while attending college. This severely limits their participation in activities designed to foster progress in their academic area of interest, which in turn affects academic success and social integration into college that fosters degree attainment. This project, "Sustainable Pathways from Community College to Bachelor's Degree for Urban Youth in STEM, Northern New Jersey," addresses this situation by creating an innovative approach that provides an ecosystem of financial support and opportunities for students from underserved urban populations to transfer from community college to a four-year institution. The project will provide a total of 295 year-long scholarships to at least 135 talented students who: are pursuing degrees in STEM, have demonstrated financial need, and come from underserved urban areas in New Jersey. The project builds on the Garden State Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) project and the Northern New Jersey Bridges to the Baccalaureate project. Scholars who receive scholarship support in this S-STEM project will be invited to participate in the highly successful activities established by these affiliated projects. Scholarships range from $8,000 for students at Rutgers University, Newark to $4,000 for students at the partnering community colleges (Essex County College, Hudson County Community College, and Passaic County Community College). The project's scholars will participate in a new pathway model that is designed to encourage their success, persistence, and transfer from community colleges to 4-year programs; and potentially continuing to graduate school and ultimately to pursuing careers in STEM. Recipients will be randomly selected to receive scholarships and participate in a research study focused on factors influencing their success. These factors include usage of time; self-efficacy, confidence, and aspirations; networking; academic performance; graduation, transfer, and career interest.

许多有才华横溢的有才华的学生在上大学时必须有效的经济需求。 这严重限制了他们参加旨在促进其感兴趣的学术领域进步的活动，这反过来影响了学术成就和社会融合到促进学位成就的大学中。该项目“从社区学院到新泽西州北部STEM的城市青年学士学位的可持续发展途径”通过创建一种创新的方法来解决这种情况大学到一个四年制的机构。该项目将为至少135名才华横溢的学生提供295年的奖学金，这些学生正在攻读STEM学位，已证明了经济需求，并来自新泽西州服务不足的城市地区。该项目建立在花园州路易斯·斯托克斯联盟（Louis Stokes）联盟（LSAMP）项目（LSAMP）项目和新泽西州北部的桥梁上。在此S-STEM项目中获得奖学金支持的学者将被邀请参加这些附属项目建立的非常成功的活动。奖学金从纽瓦克罗格斯大学的学生$ 8,000到合作伙伴社区学院（埃塞克斯郡学院，哈德逊县社区学院和帕萨克县社区学院）的学生的4,000美元。 该项目的学者将参加一个新的途径模型，该模型旨在鼓励其成功，持久和从社区大学转移到4年的课程；并有可能继续研究生院，并最终从事STEM的职业。接收者将随机选择获得奖学金，并参与一项研究，重点是影响其成功的因素。这些因素包括时间使用；自我效能，信心和愿望；联网;学业表现；毕业，转会和职业兴趣。
