NC-LSAMP

North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation - Bridge to the Doctorate

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.

Phase I awards place emphasis on aggregate baccalaureate production.

Phase II awards augment the Phase I emphasis with attention to individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees.

Phase III awards augment the Phase I and Phase II with attention to aggregate student progression to graduate school entry.
