CSEMS
Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarships is a four-year project to increase educational opportunities at UMBC for low-income, academically talented students by providing scholarships and supplemental academic and student support services for 36 full-time students in bachelor's degree programs in related fields. Support services include peer mentoring, faculty advisement, tutoring, a summer orientation and career-identification experience, and informal learning opportunities. This program hopes to improve the recruitment, enrollment, graduation and work placement of increased numbers of students, particularly underrepresented groups. Women are targeted as they are both under-represented in computer science and engineering programs and over-represented in the pool of economically disadvantaged students at UMBC.
