- This five-year, $4.9 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) funds the Computer Science as a Career Scholarship Program. The program aims to increase the recruitment, retention, transfer, and graduation of academically talented computer science students from low-income and underrepresented backgrounds through 179 scholarships across Texas A&M University-Commerce and two community colleges (Collin College and Dallas College). Key...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $296,283 to Northeastern University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The grant will fund a three-university pilot project to address the persistent problem of credit loss for community college students transferring to four-year computer science programs. The project will implement a competency-based approach, where transfer students complete a placement assessment to identify their appropriate starting point in the computing degree, allowing them to complete supplemental courses rather than repeating entire classes. This approach aims to reduce delays in graduation and student debt, ultimately improving transfer student outcomes in STEM fields. The project will run from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, with the goal of developing a scalable and easily updatable model that could be applied to other academic disciplines beyond computer science.
