Programs by Academic Level - Undergraduate Students

Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP)

The HBCU-UP provides awards to enhance the quality of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and outreach programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). As an important step in expanding participation in the nation's STEM workforce, support is available for implementation projects and planning grants. Implementation projects include comprehensive institutional approaches to strengthen STEM teaching and learning. Proposed activities are the result of careful analysis of institutional needs, address institutional and National Science Foundation goals, and have the potential to result in significant and sustainable improvements in STEM program offerings.

North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation - Bridge to the Doctorate (NC-LSAMP)

The NC-LSAMP program is aimed at increasing the quantity of students successfully completing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) baccalaureate degree programs, as well as increasing the amount of student-interest, the level of academic qualification, and the number of matriculations into programs of graduate study. NC-LSAMP supports sustained and comprehensive approaches that facilitate the long-term goal of increasing the number of students who earn doctorates in STEM fields, particularly those from underrepresented minorities (URM) in STEM fields. The program goals are accomplished through the formation of alliances.
