Abstrakt: Utah Valley University (UVU) was awarded an NSF S-STEM grant for $1.5 million dollars (over a six-years period) to strengthen outcomes for students in computer science and engineering through Leadership, Engagement, Academic Mentoring, and Preparation. This BETEC (Building Exceptional Talent in Engineering and Technology) scholarship program is a Track 2 scholarship program for students in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Computational Data Science, and Software Engineering. This paper presents the progress report of this scholarship program and its impact on the institution, its Computer Science and Engineering Programs, and the community. Also, it presents the effect of the high-impact practices in this program in retention of computer science and engineering students. High-impact practices reported include Capstone Courses, Collaborative Projects, First-Year Experiences, Internships, Undergraduate Research, and Writing Intensive Courses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
