General Information:
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program is funded by the National Science Foundation and its goal is to aid in increasing the number of STEM undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded to underrepresented minority populations. As part of the program, incoming freshmen who meet eligibility requirements are able to participate in a Summer Bridge program to help them be prepared for the start of their collegiate studies. Students will meet daily with instructors and participate in preparatory courses in chemistry and math. Students will also spend time learning about the opportunities their college campus provides for them in terms of advising, resources and technology as well as receive guidance on time management and study skills that will help them once their full schedule starts in the Fall semester. Additionally, a few slots are available for students to become a LSAMP Scholar upon completion of the Summer Bridge Program. Scholars participate in weekly meetings as well as workshops and research conferences. Scholars who fully participate and maintain a high GPA will receive stipends during the Fall and Spring semesters of $1500. Participation in the program also provides future opportunities for research experiences and internships.
