Our Mission
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is committed to supporting the success of students from racially underrepresented groups pursuing and earning a bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). With support from the National Science Foundation and the Provost's Office at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥, we provide mentorship, activities, events, and opportunities for students at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ or from our local community colleges.
Who We Serve
Our workshops and social events are open to all ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ students and LSAMP community college partners. However, to be eligible for any stipend-funded activities, students must be fully eligible to participate in LSAMP. To be LSAMP eligible, students must self-identify as a member of any of the following groups: Black/African American, Latino/Latine, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Native Alaskan, Pacific Islander; AND be a declared STEM major (excludes Psychology and Public Health majors, includes Architecture); AND is an undergraduate student who is a permanent resident or U.S. citizen.
If you have questions or concerns about your eligibility, please contact us directly at lsamp@pdx.edu. We are often able to connect students to other sources of support at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥.
