Congratulations to Dr. Joyce Stamm and her team of Dr. Alan Salminen, Dr. Maggie Stevenson, Dr. Nicholas Harmon and Dr. Michael Slade on receiving a $74,904 amendment to their National Science Foundation grant for Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, originally awarded in February of 2019 . The amendment to their Computers in Science and Math Undergraduate Education program (CiSM) will make available $1500 scholarships to upperclass students who are interested in completing the CiSM certificate and brings the total amount of the NSF award to $1,074,838. For more information about the CiSM certificate and these scholarships, please email Dr. Stamm at js383@evansville.edu.

Are you a science or math major? Are you interested in computers, data, or the intersection of both?

If so, we’d like to invite you to apply for NSF-funded scholarships of up to $1,500 to participate in the Computers in Science and Math (CiSM) Certificate Program this fall. For just a few more credits, you could complete an interdisciplinary certificate which future employers and professional programs will see attests to the fact that you “get it” - the way computers, data, science, and math are all intertwined and integral to modern (and future) society. You will have a few additional ‘marketable’ (or at least useful!) skills to boot!

To apply for the scholarship, email cism@evansville.edu with an unofficial transcript and a short essay (~250 word) describing your short-term (3-5 year) and long-term (8-10 year) goals, how you plan to accomplish them, and how your participation in the CiSM program relates to these goals. The application deadline is Monday, August 17. If you are awarded the scholarship, you should plan to enroll in ID121: Intro to Scientific Computing this fall; the class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 to 9:15 am.

Interested? Please check out the CiSM website: https://www.evansville.edu/majors/cism/, and email Dr. Joyce Stamm (js383@evansville.edu) with any questions.
