LSAMP
About LSAMP
The National Science Foundation developed the LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) to increase the number of professionals from minority groups who are traditionally underrepresented in the STEM fields. The Garden State LSAMP (GS-LSAMP) program provides New Jersey students interested in non-medical STEM fields with a supportive learning community and access to extensive resources to facilitate academic and career success. The GS-LSAMP at Kean University is part of an alliance of nine neighboring colleges and universities in New Jersey that provide local students with valuable opportunities for enrichment, research, and employment.
The Garden State LSAMP program at Kean University provides support services at all levels to help New Jersey students interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields to become successful STEM majors, graduate students, and professionals.
