An Academic Scholarship Program for engineering and computer science students is one form of a retention program. The authors have taught Academic Scholarship programs with an emphasis on women and underrepresented minority students for a combined 14 years. The students in these Academic Scholarship Programs are required to attend workshops and do assignments as part of the program. The assignments are designed to help the students be retained well, to consider graduate school, and to plan for their future. As a component of an Academic Scholarship Program, students may be given an assignment to detail their plans for the next 10 years or the first 10 years after they earn their Bachelor's degree. This "thinking ahead" can include a serious planning of the rest of the courses needed for a Bachelor's degree and what the student intends to do upon completion of the Bachelor's degree in engineering or computer science. The assignment parameters can vary greatly. The students can be asked to simply give an outline of what they plan to do for the first 10 years after they graduate. The students can also be asked for a detailed personal career statement that could be more than 5 pages. This paper will consider the "Ten Year Plan" assignment. In particular, we are concerned with the students' plans to attend graduate school. The authors analyze two models. The purpose of the paper is to give insights based on our experiences on making this type of exercise a meaningful one for faculty and students.

“…Never the less, one could always say that the cost and benefit factors influence academic expectation (Pasternak, 2005). Further as educational expenditure impacts student engagement (Pike, Smart, Kuh, & Hayek, 2006) it is the academic scholarship program for engineering as per one's academic major acts as a survivor (Anderson-Rowland, 2006). As already known abolishing school fees influences education access and equity (Al-Samarrai & Zaman, 2007) that could change the course equity effects and institutional risk amid policy shift in financing higher education (Munene & Otieno, 2008) focusing students perceptions of higher education services -academic advising , instructional effectiveness ,-recruitment and financial aid‖ and -student centeredness (Nadiri, 2006).…”

Objective:-The study aims to empirically test the relationship between types of campus adaptations and sources of college expenses across engineering undergraduate B. Tech students pursuing a four-year study at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT's) and National Institute of Technology (NIT's) in India. Method:-The Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova) test was run with SPSS vs. 21 to compare the student's campus adaptations of IIT's and NIT's by student's academic year level. Multistage random sampling with n = 1420 students were selected with parents income (n = 956), bank loan (n =144), government scholarship (n =85), private scholarship (n = 06), loan from private source or money lender for stipulated interest (n = 1) borrowing from relatives (n = 1), income from internship project at institute (n = 1), parents income and bank loan (n = 52) parents income and government scholarship (n =121), parents income, government scholarship and private scholarship (n=09), government scholarship and bank loan (n =16), parents income, government scholarship and bank loan (n =07), parents income and private scholarship (n = 09), parents income, private scholarship and bank loan (n =3), government scholarship, income from internship project (n =1) , parents income and income from internship project (n =2), parents income and donor donation (n =3), parents income and borrowing from relatives (n =7). Result:-. The source of expenses delve on derived multiple sources that heavily influences students adaptability at campuses. Conclusion:-Campus adaptations do vary across source of college expense influencing student's experiences at IIT's and NIT's.
