The
Louis Stokes Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation
(LS-LAMP) is a comprehensive, coordinated program aimed at
substantially increasing the number and quality of minority
students earning baccalaureate degrees in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. An accompanying
objective consists of guiding a significant percentage of
these alumni to successful pursuits of STEM graduate degrees,
with emphasis on the Ph.D. The remarkable successes of LS-LAMP
Phase I (1995-2000) in both minority STEM BS degree production
and graduate school enrollment partly explain the reason that
the National Science Foundation and the Louisiana Board of
Regents recently funded Phase II (2000-05) at the level of
$1.5 million per year. |
