With funding from the National Science Foundation's Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, the US MASTER II (Undergraduate Scholarships with Mathematics And Science Training, Exploration and Research) project will provide support to low-income students with demonstrated financial need and academic promise to succeed in STEM disciplines at University of North Dakota (UND). The project will fund a minimum of 36 scholarships over five years for students who are pursuing bachelor's degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Geography & Geographic Information Science, Mathematics, and Physics & Astrophysics. Participating students will be involved in scientific research projects including individual research supervised by participating faculty, and semester-long interdisciplinary, team-based projects. Students will also receive mentoring support from multiple sources, including peers, academic advisors and research mentors. Ultimately, these strategies to foster diversity and broaden participation in the STEM fields will fuel innovation and progress in scientific discovery both in the region and across the country.Support and encouragement of first generation, and underrepresented minority (URM) students are key to increasing diversity in the STEM fields, especially among students from rural environments such as are found in North Dakota. To this end, an integrated multi-tiered mentoring (IMM) program will be developed and assessed along with other high impact practices (HIPs) that will boost retention and success by formally attending to the development of students' science identity within the scholarship program. These program goals will be achieved through recruitment of talented low-income students who are likely to be underrepresented (including first generation) individuals. Integrated multi-tiered mentoring by academic advisors, research mentors, and peer-mentors, high impact practices that guide students through all aspects of scientific research and educational training will be implemented. Knowledge generation will occur via a pilot IMM study investigating mentoring roles and functions as they relate to the development of students' science identity. The project includes strategic coordination of support services already present at UND, including financial, academic and other support. The US MASTER II program will produce a cadre of talented scientists ready for the challenges of graduate studies and research careers. Intermediate and final results from this study will have practical implications for STEM education and student support, and will be shared widely with diverse audiences in the social sciences, STEM fields and higher education through presentations and specific mentoring sessions or symposia throughout the entirety of the US MASTER II program.

借助美国国家科学基金会在科学，技术，工程和数学（S-STEM）计划方面的奖学金，美国硕士II（具有数学和科学培训，探索和研究的本科奖学金）项目将为北达科他大学（Und Dakota of North Dakota of North Dakota of North Dakota of STEM学科）提供成功的低收入学生的支持。该项目将在五年内至少为攻读生物学，化学，地理和地理信息科学，数学以及物理与天体物理学学士学位的学生提供至少36项奖学金。参加的学生将参与科学研究项目，包括由参与教师监督的个人研究，以及基于团队的学期跨学科项目。学生还将获得来自多个来源的指导支持，包括同行，学术顾问和研究导师。最终，这些促进多样性和扩大参与STEM领域的策略将推动该地区和全国各地的科学发现的创新和进步。对第一代的支持和鼓励，以及代表性不足的少数群体（URM）学生是STEM领域的多样性的关键，尤其是在诸如北达克托（North Dakota）之类的农村环境中增加的学生。为此，将开发和评估一项综合的多层指导（IMM）计划，以及其他高影响力实践（HIP），通过正式参与奖学金计划中学生科学身份的发展，可以提高保留和成功。这些计划的目标将通过招募可能不足（包括第一代）个人的才华横溢的低收入学生来实现。由学术顾问，研究导师和同伴的综合多层指导，将实施指导学生完成科学研究和教育培训各个方面的高影响力实践。知识的产生将通过试点IMM研究进行，研究与学生科学身份的发展有关的指导角色和功能。该项目包括已经存在于UND的支持服务的战略协调，包括财务，学术和其他支持。 美国硕士II计划将为研究生研究和研究职业的挑战提供一批才华横溢的科学家。这项研究的中级和最终结果将对STEM教育和学生的支持具有实际影响，并通过演讲以及在整个美国Master II计划中通过演讲以及特定的指导会议或专题讨论来与社会科学，STEM领域和高等教育的不同受众分享。
