Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Opportunity for high school juniors and seniors

Southern Connecticut State University was recently awarded a $3.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to enhance diversity in STEM fields. As the lead institution for the Nutmeg State LSAMP program, Southern Connecticut State University is collaborating with its three sister institutions: Central, Eastern, and Western Connecticut State Universities to address the three main causes of attrition in STEM: success in mathematics and other gateway courses, financial need, and fostering a sense of belonging.

Funding for the first two years of this five-year grant was awarded on October 1, 2023, and will be renewed annually through 2025, 2026, and 2027. As we prepare to recruit our next cohort for the fall of 2025, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in spreading the word about this initiative.
