摘要：

Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) programs are aimed to increase diversity in science, tech-nology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM) fields. However, limited programs and eligibility re-quirements limit the students who may apply to similar programs. At Winston-Salem State University, we piloted a series of workshops, collectively termed Project Strengthen, to emulate some of the key as-pects of MARC programs. Following the workshop, Project Strengthen students showed a significant in-crease in their understanding of essential educational development skills, such as writing personal state-ments, applying to graduate school, studying for the GRE, and seeking summer internships. This suggests Project Strengthen may be a potential lower cost comparable option than MARC to make up for current deficiencies in preparedness for graduate school. We also provide educational materials from Project Strengthen, including a clear framework for this seminar series, six ready-made PowerPoints to share
