LSAMP

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) program that strives to build the next generation of STEM discoverers. 

LSAMP is an alliance-based program, where a group of colleges work together to diversify the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM degrees awarded to persons from LSAMP populations who are underrepresented in STEM careers.  

The LSAMP program strives to produce well-prepared, highly competitive students from these populations who pursue graduate studies or careers in STEM.
