Scholarships inSTEM (S-STEM) project. Our purpose in sharing our current situation is to gain feedback fromcolleagues experienced with projects of this size and type on how to effectively make midstreamcorrections to design-based methods in ways that maintain research and project fidelity. Duringthe 2019-20 academic year, the first year of the project, we created tools and procedures for datacollection and analysis that we piloted in Spring 2020 with the first cohort of students toparticipate in the S-STEM program. With regard to supporting undergraduate students, the planfor this multi-year, grant-funded project is to scale each year, along with increasing the size ofparticipant cohorts, through the fifth and final year of the project. As a two

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Use of Personas in Rating Scholarship ApplicationsIntroductionThis evidence-based practice paper introduces a method for creating subjective, holistic rubricsbased on the human-centered design concept of personas. It can be difficult to align assessmentmetrics with subjective artifacts, especially when the goal of the artifact itself is subjective. Thefaculty team who collaborated on an NSF S-STEM project faced

paperreviews the findings from the subset of longitudinal data to add to the literature related to thisinstrument and to gather feedback related to future directions for this project.BackgroundThe Campbell University’s School of Engineering is able to offer students need-basedscholarships through an NSF S-STEM grant. As part of this program, students are expected totake part in a variety of professional development activities including faculty and peermentoring, industry tours, tutoring, and internship preparation assistance. This institution islocated in a rural area with many first-generation college students in the engineering studentpopulation. The institution also accepts many students into the engineering program who mayneed an additional
