Abstract | This article features LSAMP, the acronym for the 21-year-old Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation. The program, currently funded at $45 million annually and serving some 220,000 students, supports what the National Science Foundation (NSF) refers to as "sustained and comprehensive approaches to broadening participation (in STEM education) at the baccalaureate level." The program touts a long record of success in nurturing and supporting minority students' STEM career aspirations. Since LSAMP's inception in 1991, the program has produced more than 407,000 minority STEM bachelor's degree recipients--some 31,000 of them in 2011 alone--out of 2.8 million LSAMP students who have enrolled in STEM studies. But these figures only tell the quantitative story of LSAMP. The qualitative story is reflected in the new NSF book that features the 5,000-plus LSAMP scholars. (ERIC). |
