AB  - Overview: The NSF Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) Track 3-funded name-of Program at University (U) is built on the theoretical framework of legitimate peripheral participation with an emphasis on inclusivity, community, and belonging. Through an initial Track 2 award, the Program increased Scholar retention, academic performance, and engagement with student support services relative to peers. The Program is expanding to include 25 majors across eight departments (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics, Psychology, and Geology, Environment, and Sustainability Studies) and partnering with local Community College (CC). CC and U are located in a community in which  ≥ 93% of high school students are minoritized in the sciences and ≥ 65% are low income. The expanded Program will create a seamless pathway for students from local high schools, through five CC STEM majors (Biology, Computer Science, Engineering Science, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Math) and U, culminating in a STEM BA/BS degree and entry into a STEM profession. It will accomplish these goals by augmenting the original program with components to address challenges specific to CC: a summer research experience, ALEKS for math placement support, joint CC/U advising, and an annual CC/U STEM faculty conference to strengthen curricular ties across our institutions. 
Objectives: (1) shorten length of time to earn STEM AS and BA/BS degrees, (2) increase feelings of belonging and identity with CC and U, (3) increase identity and confidence as STEM students and professionals, (4) consistent engagement with student support services (e.g., academic success, career counseling and placement), (5) catalyze interdisciplinary and inter-institutional pedagogical collaborations, (6) identify curricular and co-curricular factors contributing to student success and career entry, (7) institutionalize sustainable, high impact practices, and (8) adapt and develop processes for other institutions to follow. The expanded Program will support 90 unique Scholars. The U Entryway will recruit STEM majors who were academically strong in high school and who initially underperform at U. The CC-U Entryway will recruit local, academically successful high school students. Our goal is to increase Scholar retention, transfer, and graduation rates by 25% relative to peers.
Intellectual Merit: The Program explores a transformative model that integrates existing institutional resources within an evidence-based framework. The model is intentionally adaptable to unique institutional or disciplinary contexts. We will advance knowledge in four broad areas: (1) scholar outcomes, (2) institutional impacts, (3) adaptability, transferability, and institutionalization, and (4) theory and practice. We are uniquely positioned to succeed, given resources and the collaborations built via the NSF-funded (STEM)2 Network.
