LSAMP strives for scholar success. We aim to support underrepresented students in STEM. LSAMP’s Mission and objective of Thomas Nelson LSAMP Program emerges out of the National Science Foundation’s vision of LSAMP as a critical resource for high-potential historically under-represented students with a passion and commitment to become industry and academic leaders in STEM areas. Our goal is to increase the numbers of African American, Latino/a, Native American, and other historically under-represented students graduating with baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields of study through creating a supportive community, offering academic support and guidance, and providing access to resources on and off campus. The intention of LSAMP funding is to help diversify STEM by providing support to URM students, however; non-URM (underrepresented minority) students CAN participate in LSAMP activities/receive support provided they are United States citizens or permanent residents.

Access to funding, enhanced support, research training, and preparation towards graduate school.

The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) aims to increase the quality and quantity of students successfully completing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) baccalaureate degree programs.

The Virginia-North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation strives for diversification of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, with an emphasis on increasing the number of underrepresented minority students earning baccalaureate degrees and matriculating to graduate school.
