(S-STEM) grant to increase engineering degree completion of low-income, high achievingundergraduate students. The project aims to increase engineering degree completion byimproving student engagement, boosting retention and academic performance, and enhancingstudent self-efficacy by providing useful programming, resources, and financial support (i.e.,scholarships). This work is part of a larger grant aimed at uncovering effective strategies tosupport low-income STEM students’ success at HBCUs. The next section will discuss thebackground of this work.Keywords: Historically black colleges/universities (HBCUs), learning environment,undergraduate, underrepresentationBackgroundA public historically black land-grant university in the southeastern

may not be meeting those challenges.MethodsContext: This research was conducted at a single large research intensive (RH-VH) public universitylocated in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, as part of an NSF Funded S-STEM program. S-STEM programs are intended to support low-income students in their trajectories to and through school.While most funded SSTEM programs in the United States are aimed at undergraduate student support, thisSSTEM is unique in that it supports low income Master’s students to obtain thesis-based MS degrees.Students in the program are supported financially, have substantial professional development programming,regular mentorship meetings with faculty affiliated with the program, and peer/near-peer mentoring.
