We are delighted to announce that the Community Engaged Scholars in Computer Science scholarship program at the University of San Francisco is now officially funded by the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) under Grant No. 1833718. The program will start funding scholars this Fall 2019!
This initiative was started by Professor Sami Rollins before she joined NSF as a Program Director in the Division of Undergraduate Education. See the About section for the entire team that made this happen!
