Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority participation (LSAMP) Program

The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Leadership and Academic Enhancement Program, named in honor of former congressman Louis Stokes, is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program intended to support historically underrepresented students in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Enrollment in the program is reserved for a select and highly committed group of students with a declared major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Alliance program, through the development and implementation of curricular and co-curricular activities, aims to increase the success of underrepresented students in STEM majors and help develop highly qualified STEM professionals ready to be competitive in the workforce or graduate school.
