surveyquestions are provided below. These results were selected because they show interestingdifferences and similarities between the transfer and non-transfer students. Also, these resultsshow the views of all the students of the SAS scholarship program.In Figure 1, a clear difference is shown in the timing of when students decided to major inengineering or computer science. The transfer students were split across all responses, while thenon-transfer students mostly chose to major in the last two years of high school. These resultsmay give insight on how to improve recruitment of transfer students.Figure 1: Decision to major in engineering or computer science. Q 14. When did you decide to major in engineering or Tranfers computer

. Professionals from the community come to meet the students, make presentations, and explain jobs and opportunities available in engineering and science fields. ANSEP students make presentations on their research projects and internships so that others can see the array of career options. These meetings are an opportunity for us to see the students each week and to identify and mitigate problems before they jeopardize a student’s academic Page 23.63.10 success. We work to keep these sessions very informal and relaxed. We share pizza, bar-   b-q, and traditional Native
