The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is an alliance-based program.


Congressionally mandated in 1991, the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is named after Louis Stokes, a congressman from Cleveland, Ohio. The LSAMP, a program of the National Science Foundation, is an alliance-based program, where a group of institutions of higher education (IHEs) work together to diversify the nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded, including students from LSAMP populations. The overall goal of the program is to assist universities and colleges in broadening participation of the nation’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded, including those from LSAMP populations as defined by NSF. LSAMP’s efforts to increase broadening participation and to foster student success in STEM are aligned with the goals of the Federal Government’s five-year strategic plan for STEM education, Charting a Course for Success: America’s Strategy for STEM Education. The Michigan Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (MI-LSAMP) is open to students from all identities enrolled in MI-LSAMP partner institutions, regardless, ethnicity, or national origin.
