LSAMP Programs

The transition to a new unfamiliar environment can be challenging for students. LSAMP helps students to bridge key transitions: from high school to college; from college into graduate school and ultimately into a rewarding career in science, technology, math, or engineering.

We support your student’s success by providing financial, academic, and social support, as well as wonderful career building opportunities. 

LSAMP also provides personal, professional and leadership opportunities to strengthen character and foster cultural and social competencies.
