The National Science Foundation (NSF) S-STEM funded scholarship program, Engineering Pathway to Success, is a joint effort of the college of Engineering at LSU and Baton Rouge Community College, and it supports the engineering degree progression program with students earning a BRCC Associate of Science degree and completing a Bachelor's of Science degree in engineering at LSU. Over three years, the program has provided scholarships and academic/professional support to 30 students who demonstrate academic talent and financial need. Another 11 students will be added during year four. The primary goals of the program are to utilize scholarships and a suite of activities to create and sustain a pathway for BRCC transfer students and to develop a successful model for transfer students from other community colleges and 4-year institutions based on the experiences and outcomes of the project. Importantly, this scholarship program aims to increase the number of engineers in the state and nation, reaching out to those students who have an interest in the field but who are unable to pursue the education necessary to acquire a degree.
