| The first group of scholarship participants
entered the program in the fall semester of 2002. Since that time
students have entered the program on a continuous basis. The program is
funded through the year 2011. The main purpose of the program is to
attract students to major in computer science or mathematics or
statistics and to help them succeed in these majors. The scholarship
provides up to 8 semesters of funding, including up to 4 semesters of
graduate study at Appalachian. The program provides a nurturing
atmosphere that encourages excellence and builds collaborations between
students, faculty, and the community. |
