This collaborative project grant, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), provides comprehensive support services and scholarships to retain and graduate high-achieving, low-income undergraduate students pursuing degrees in ceramic engineering and glass engineering. Awarded to the Colorado School of Mines on March 15, 2026, with a total obligation of $1,002,679 through February 28, 2031, the project will support approximately 45 scholars across three partner institutions: Alfred University, Colorado School of Mines, and Missouri University of Science and Technology. Each scholar will receive scholarships of up to $15,000 annually for up to five years of study. Beyond financial support, the project delivers an integrated suite of student development services including faculty, peer, and industry mentoring; an intensive paid summer program designed to build scholar cohorts; industry site visits; participation in student professional society chapters; undergraduate research opportunities; paid internships; and conference travel support. An independent evaluator will assess project outcomes through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and student artifact reviews. By addressing the critical shortage of ceramic and glass engineering professionals needed across the semiconductor, energy, space, and other key national sectors, this initiative contributes to NSF's broader objective of expanding the domestic STEM workforce and supporting economically disadvantaged talent in specialized engineering disciplines.
