The Path Ambassadors To High Success (PATHS) project is designed to create new and compelling pathways for academically talented and financially needy students from partner high schools to study computer science at the Colorado School of Mines. The PATHS program will also strengthen current pathways for students to transition from local community colleges to the university. The project will develop and test a program that will result in an increased number of students in Colorado studying computer science, higher retention rate of these students, establishment of a strong/active community for students, broadened participation in computing of underrepresented groups, and development of a new flexible degree program that combines engineering and computer science. The new integrated computer science + engineering degree program is particularly well suited for meeting a national need to increase the technical workforce in computing. Evaluation of the program activities will provide new insights on best practices for attracting and retaining student scholars at small engineering universities. The project will also include a comparative evaluation, to compare students involved in the program with similar (but not participating) students. By leveraging an existing synergistic state program, the PATHS program expects to sustain the activities and outcomes after the grant period ends. The program will offer between 10 and 21 NSF-funded scholarships per year to PATHS Scholars and will build the infrastructure to recruit, retrain, and enable the scholarship students to succeed. Key program activities have been chosen based on the current literature of data-driven best practices for recruitment and retention of low-income students and for future career success of program participants. The project will (1) create a new pathway for students from partnering Colorado high schools to attend and succeed at the university; (2) strengthen an existing pathway for students from a local community college to transfer and succeed at the university; and (3) establish an on-campus support community (cohort) required for all students on PATHS scholarships with activities and best practices designed to maintain high retention rates for these students. To help students overcome known barriers to college access and success, the program will form cohorts that utilize an array of existing target resources at the university to engage the students in career services, outreach for program recruitment, and best practices for academic success. In recruiting efforts, the PATHS program will engage the PATHS Scholars as Ambassadors in outreach and recruitment (at their home institutions, if possible).

高级成功（PATH）项目的路径大使旨在为来自合作伙伴高中的学术才华和经济上有需要的学生创造新的，引人入胜的途径，以在科罗拉多州矿业学院学习计算机科学。路径计划还将加强当前学生从当地社区大学过渡到大学的途径。该项目将开发和测试一项计划，该计划将导致科罗拉多州研究计算机科学的学生数量增加，这些学生的保留率更高，为学生建立一个强大/活跃的社区，扩大了代表性不足的群体的计算以及开发新的灵活学位课程的计算，以结合工程学和计算机科学。新的集成计算机科学 +工程学位课程特别适合满足增加计算技术劳动力的国家需求。对计划活动的评估将为吸引和保留小型工程大学的学生学者提供新的见解。该项目还将包括比较评估，以将参与该计划的学生与类似（但不参加）学生进行比较。通过利用现有的协同国家计划，《道路计划》期望在赠款期结束后维持活动和结果。该计划每年将提供10至21个NSF资助的奖学金，以建立基础设施，以招募，再培训和使奖学金专业的学生取得成功。根据当前的数据驱动和保留低收入学生的最佳实践以及计划参与者的未来职业成功的最佳实践的文献，选择了关键的计划活动。该项目将（1）为与科罗拉多高中合作的学生创建新的途径，以参加大学并取得成功； （2）加强当地社区学院的学生的现有途径，以在大学转学和成功； （3）建立一个校园支持社区（队列），所有学生在奖学金中所需的活动和最佳实践旨在维持这些学生的高保留率。为了帮助学生克服已知的大学访问和成功障碍，该计划将形成同伙，利用大学现有的目标资源来吸引学生从事职业服务，计划招募计划以及最佳实践学业成功实践。在招募工作中，《道路计划》将与宣传和招聘的大使一起参与路径学者（如果可能的话，在他们的家庭机构）。
