Ernesto described finding friends as a source of support based on his experience in the S-STEM program–this sense of community flourished in his third year as a student at theuniversity. He considers his own introverted nature and his self-consciousness about his Englishas possible factors that impacted his sociability in the department early in his schooling.

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.

Moreover, by 2020, a federal NSF S-STEM grant was acquired in addition toother industry partnerships that provided additional funding and the ability to ensure no studentshad to work outside of FAMU, which reduced students' financial needs and heavily increasedretention and average GPAs.E. ConclusionThe EESI program has varied over the years with the change of funding offered, which led to theability to meet goal (1) of the program. However, the core concept of incorporating experientiallearning with academic support has been the same to ensure that the seven (7) program goals aremet.

High-achieving underserved students were defined as those whoqualified for Federal Student Aid and who also maintained a required minimum GPA (3.0 forfirst year students, 2.5 for upcoming fourth year students s). A GPA of 2.5 was considered to behigh achieving for fourth year students due to the threshold proposed by the S-STEM grant forscholarship eligibility.The survey

Faculty should be engaged in supporting these diverse students beyond theirteaching role, including academic advising, coaching and mentoring, social status checks, andmore. Furthermore, faculty involved in these roles should be supported and rewarded, as theywould be for other important campus initiatives. Nonetheless, there are some challenges with thisapproach since research has shown that women and minority faculty typically already have aheavier service load and more diversity responsibilities than do their peers.
